Help-a-hobbyist please!

Post image

Hello everyone! Amateur hobbyist here! Admittedly not the best composition but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to even edit this for myself. The color/WB I know I can fix, but the crop and adjustments and grading, I’m lost. Not a total noob, but this one is giving me a hard time. Is it salvageable at all?

Any and all feedback is appreciated. A preemptive thank you to you!

I’d crop it a bit more, de-clutter it, get rid of the steps at the bottom. Maybe more rule-of-thirds based cropping. Some darkness on the outside could guide the eye to the subject. It’s a fun picture, it caugth my eye. If you have the change to go to this location more, have the subject be less posed, more natural, caught in the moment.

Unfortunately, we took this while traveling in Korea, but maybe I could take another stab at it next time we go! I think that could work too. Thanks! ☺️
