Before planting the beast of a cactus in a pot along our front porch, I photographed the plant in its black, plastic pot indoors using my Leica Monochrom M11 with an orange filter.  With the camera on a tripod, the cat wandered in and out of my exposures, and was inadvertently captured in motion in some captures.

The cactus was bulging out of its pot, and looked vaguely heart shaped. I worked in Photoshop to expand the visual resemblance to a Valentine’s Day heart, with the results you see here.
