I enjoy same-sex events because there is often an added subtext of community, unity, and sometimes even a bit of defiance, all beautifully manifested by the rainbow theme. So when a rainbow (and a good one!) appeared right on cue, I pretty much commanded the couple to kiss like there was no tomorrow, and this was the result. I\u2019ve significantly increased the contrast and boosted the colours to give it a Wuthering Heights drama that I felt the image needed and deserved. Of its type, it&#8217;s my favourite from 2019.
