congratulations! it's a truly deserving photo 
thank you for the feature as well 
Something I think that really worked with this piece is the way you used the backround pinpricks of glared light to contrast with the heart's darker splotches, which really appeals to my eye for no partictular good reason. I also like the hint of the hand below--I think seeing more of the hand instead of just a finger could be a fair choice, but I rather like the cropped look. (Another point in your favor is the choice of surgical scissors. Lovely touch.)
Now, the title just doesn't work for me. Alright, "cutting off emotions", cutting up your heart, I really get your drift. But because you wenf for the easy literal titile, your drift turned into more of a projectile. Choose something that won't give away your whole idea, and something that doesn't contrast in a yucky way with the soft focus and soft colors of the piece.
I feel like if you cropped a little less on either side, it would feel more full; I get that the centerization of the heart is important, so you shouldn't sacrifice that. But I'd have liked to see just a little more of the picture.
All in all, very much a job well done. Congratulations.
I absolutely love the contrast of the red on blue..The glares in the background add an enchanting effect that enhances your piece.
I also enjoy the fact that you used (from what I see, correct me if I'm wrong) surgical scissors to cut the heart..wonderful addition, quite clever.
The only problem I see with this piece in the fact that it could have been cropped a little on the right or it could have used a little less cropping on the left (I think I would want to see the glare so I wouldn't have cropped so much on the left).
I am also contemplating whether cropping out the fingers at the bottom totally would do the photo justice or not. I realize you want to show someone cutting the heart but I would say that there is too little to establish a hand anyways, so either add more of the fingers or completely take them out (it almost distracts from the photo)
all in all, wonderful capture and keep up the good work.
