In the heat

“What grows best in the heat: fantasy; unreason; lust.”
~ Salman Rushdie

Here we are at the last Throwback Thursday of this years February Photofest and I think this might be my favourite one from this months collection of re-edits.

I posted the original back in 2021 for a Sinful Sunday prompt that was motion blur. I picked the black and white edit at the time because I really liked the ghostly haunting look. Also the I felt that it really captured movement/motion in the shot. I really like that original for those reasons. Mostly the haunting part to be honest as that is a particular look that I love playing with

But this new edit? Damn it’s good. The colours, the light, how my skin shines and how the image just seems to give off a heat. I want to step into this shot, to feel that heat and the wet and I bloody took it. *laughs. This is one of those shots that I am actually pretty bloody proud to have taken.
