This looks almost surreal. I like the contrast of the sunlight, shadow and the steam(?) rising from the water. The muted colors make it pretty desolate looking. Thanks for sharing!
Welcome to Caedes! It is the lighting rather than the scene that makes this for a good image to me. The lighting and fortuitous sunlight and shadows gives the picture an impact which a picture of a hot mud hole might not otherwise have. Well spotted and taken.
