Search the Shadows

I posted the original of this shot back in January 2016. It has always been a picture I have really liked, but I have struggled to make it look really good. Because it was taken in very low light there is a lot of noise in the image and some dark shadows that have lost detail.

The original edit I posted was OK, but I am really pleased with this re-edit. Yes it has bought some grain back into the shot, but I really love the warmth of it now and I like how that graininess gives it a slight retro/vintage feel. Also the way the shadows wrap around my bottom, you know I am naked, but you are forced to search the shadows for any real detail.
