Description
Now that I’ve cut open this heart that I’ve made.I’m going to eat it and drink it dry.
Like what you did to me, I created you.
On a whim I stood there with random ingredients.
With a heart shaped form from the nearest store.
There you stood, with love for the both of us.
But now I have to cut your jelly heart open.
To see what’s there, oh, it's empty.
And I ate it, it tasted terrible.

Sorry for the late reply.
But Thank You very much for this, means alot.
I think you explained what emotions I wanted to show exactly, so I'm glad it worked.
I'm glad, I'm actually doing more heart pictures now, hope I can upload them soon!

Hell yeah, this is a very original photo. The image alone is brings lots of different interpretations of the meaning of the bleeding heart. What makes this original is the fact its a jellylike (probably edible) and which is associated with sweet foods and sugar, similar meaning of love and the heart (soul and emotions). Obviously this shows the heart being cut open like as if its being purposely being "broken" by someone (a lover maybe). "Dissecting you", the title explains that this individual is dissecting the jelly-heart and we all know that dissecting is to investigate, find internally. It might also mean that this "heart" has a problem like a disease, but can be metaphorically explained with it being "broken". The syrup (which looks like bleeding), proves this heart is "broken" and needs to be healed.
The photo is of high painstaking quality and gives the audience (viewer) a better view of the detail of the hearts rip and the "cracks" inside. Although some might argue this is a bit corny with the whole "love is drama" and emo-like themes. But really this is still a amazing photo i would love to see more of these photos from the community on valentines day.
To summarise, a great photo. Amazing vision of love and the heart. Great metaphorically in depth and understanding. A original, industrious deviant-member which inspires me and most likely many other artists out there.

Thank You for the wonderful critique!
I got quite chocked that you actually understood every thought I had while photographing this picture and while making the jelly heart.
And now when I think about it, I made this while in a deep corny emo period after being dumped so it's no arguing about that. ; )
Again Thanks! I'm glad that you appreciate it.

Dammit, that's it, I'm getting tired of this, now I want to see those happy awesome green jelly cakes one always saw as a kid.
So now I'll just go and make some colorful jelly stuff right now, always loved wobbling jelly.
And yeah you can create anything out of jelly cause of its original fluent matter, it's awesome.
Wish the world could be made out of wobbling jelly in all sorts of colors.
Thanks ^^
