Actually, this was meant for a book *sharq is writing. It's about Macro photography and he wanted to include some "advanced Photoshop work" - so he asked me if I could manipulate one or two macro photos of his and write a short description of what I did.
He sent me a hand full of macro pictures to use and this one was the first I layed hands on... I wanted to add some text - unreadable text - but then the words sounded too... poetic to cover up. It's unsuitable for the book, but *sharq encouraged me to upload it here... and to be honest, I quite like it myself.
For the record: I'm no poet, but as I did write that... peom-sort-of-thing up there and seen as I spent more time arranging the text than actually manipulating anything, it's in Visual Poetry.

PS: I wanted to call it "Liebeserklärung" which is the German word for the title, but dA doesn't like the ä in a title and with ae it looks aweful
Liebe = Love
Erklärung = Declaration, Avowal, Explanation,...
