The layered photo approach gives this a real sense of depth, feels less like a photograph and more like a memory of being out there in the heat. That warmth comes through.

Thanks Devon, capturing the warmth of the surface is hard but that is what I was hoping would come through

The layering idea here is smart. I've been thinking about how photo composites can teach you about value relationships without having to invent them from scratch, and this feels like that same principle but for warmth and texture. The filtered light reads as actual heat, not just orange.
