Sony a6700. Minimal processing (dodge, burn, contrast) I'm not happy with the hot spot near his knee however

I like this. But as you point out, the blown out highlights are a major distraction. The small one down by his foot would be an easy clone. I wonder if you could possibly paint the the bright yellow wood color into the blown out areas, and then clone in some of it to restore some texture, so there is some detail?

It's a nice environmental portrait. I like his expression and concentration on the work. The background complements the main subject with useful information. The bright spots do distract a little, and maybe you can clone them out as Bob's suggested. Posted: 12/15/2025 22:29:24
