I was riding around in an open-back tour bus in Budapest and saw these two going at it in the middle of a park. Lust sprung to mind. This is not cropped but the original was so sharp and bright (green grass and her shirt had bright blue stripes) that it reminded me of a Tide commercial, and that is decidedly uncool.

Iggy Pop's Lust for Life kept playing in my head so I decided to go with a cross-processed look to add a bit of character to an otherwise straight-forward shot. And I completely botched it.

I initially went with a preset in LR but noticed later it had added a lens correction, which obviously doesn't fly in basic. So I had to start from the beginning and never got close to the original edit that I liked.

But nothing ventured nothing gained.

And bested by a cat to boot.

The idea is sound but I'm not personally keen on the reddish colourisation.

I like your choice in color processing here. It somewhat adds to the lust.
