The scale of things

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

A shot of my husband standing near a line of steam vents that make up The Devil’s Kitchen at Lassen Volcanic National Park. There are mud pots too. When you get close to these vents they are really warm and very wet…your clothes get soaked if you stay too long. Then the air dries them for you when you step away. It’s oddly refreshing.

Specific Feedback

Open to processing suggestions. It was basically the worst time of day to shoot, but what can you do?

Technical Details

Handheld w/polarizer probably

image

Lr w/Adobe std profile, pulled back highlights and boosted shadows, added a little texture and sharpening. Daylight wb. A crop with some rotation.
