It is prompt week and I am going to be complete honest I have struggled with this one. It has been a difficult week starting with a migraine, increasing levels of PMT (PMDD), issues linked to lock down and then being very ill yesterday and trying to recover today. It’s really impacted my attitude and my capacity to be creative. My reality is that whilst I have lots of privilege, I am missing a lot of the things that help to nurture me.
The prompt of taking and posting an unedited photo is an excellent one. It makes the photographer focus on setting up the shot and making sure that it is properly planned rather than relying on editing to sort it. I like the idea. And, if you have equipment that allows you to do that set up, to check your images, make settings adjustments, position the camera etc etc, it’s a really important exercise. It’s also one that is a lot easier for people who can connect their phones to see the image that they are taking.
All of that, combined with the lack of space and opportunities and being ill has made me feel a little resentful of the circumstances of others. I know that feeling will dissolve away as the PMT(PMDD) subsides but I am recognising it here because it is healthier for me to name it for myself.
My image isn’t well composed, practiced and refined before taking to allow it to be great without editing. I took the one opportunity I had, held my phone out and snapped. Of course, each time I checked the screen, I changed my position and then caught a different angle when I tried again. For me, it feels like I have scraped through rather than taking a wonderful image. Not being able to frame the picture feels the most frustrating.
Annoyingly for me, there are things about this picture that I love. I have been tempted to just not join in this week and wait until I can edit etc. But, I am also very stubborn and don’t want to give in. I also know that in a different week, I would love this image. I have currently forgotten how to feel sexy and have forgotten how to flirt and all of those things. I hope I can get that part of me back and, I really hope that you find this image sexy despite all the words I have poured out here.
Heavenly.
Stop it, this happens to be a wonderful image… 3D drops peppering your breast to enhance a sexual nipple.
I love the way the water droplets look! Fab pic
That’s a beautiful well thought out picture wonderfully natural photo of a gorgeous breast – don’t change or edit
The water droplets look like jewels on your skin. The light and the angel is sublime. Your way is difficult and frustrating but your perseverance has produced a beautiful image.

A visually assertive revelation of the fullness of the beauty of your breast summoning me yo want to see more!!! Yout Wonderful Persistence rewards us.
The water adds so much to this erotic shot, well done!
All comments have been positive including this one. The photo of your wet skin and breasts is quite erotic as a matter of fact. The fact that it’s untouched makes it all the palpable.
I really really like this picture! I love the natural beauty of it/you, the lighting here as well as the water drops on your skin
Honey this is a lovely natural picture. Like you, I itch to edit, especially when I am not feeling 100% but this picture really doesn’t need it.
Beautiful photo … and I do love those droplets !!!

Well done on persevering through the negativity and producing a great image. I can empathise completely with where you are at. I find myself in a similar head space at times. I am always happiest when I manage to push through and complete the task I am battling with. I hate when things get the better of me, especially when it is my own negativity, Congratulations on a beautiful photo.
This is really a gorgeous image, Honey.
Sorry to hear things are difficult for you, and that you’ve been sick. Hope you feel better.

I’m grateful that you’re being stubborn, you’re also being far too hard on yourself.
I love unedited Honey! The droplets of water really add a fascinating edge, I keep scrolling up for another look! The tangle of wet hair on your shoulder draw our eye further in. And boobs, what more can I say?!
I quite like this picture. It is real, and sexy, and together with the text, shows me that there is beauty even when everything else seems bleak. I hope you are doing better now, and if not, I hope you will be feeling better soon.
