The photo is an unexpected, bold and disorienting mix of tension and calm.

Should not the rocks roll down such a steep incline? Are we not winded by the mere sight of such a foreground?

Yet it is only three slopes, untouched, empty, and forlorn. It calls us home, yet feels unknown, strange. Do we stop? Do we move on?

This place is everywhere and nowhere, the place I hold dear and the place I dread...the place I long for and the place I wish to leave behind...

@Gargron I wouldn't sell yourself short like this-- it's easy to read intention into this for the composition.

I'm a big fan of hills lapping and layering like this. Intersecting and occluding lines, depth implied by texture and atmosphere, simple positive/negative space. Love me some hills.

@Gargron That is why I prefer wide angle, to get yourself a foreground. Tele lenses only let you “vary” the background…

diagram: … you move the arrow head by swinging your telelens around (easy). You move the arrow’s tail by swinging yourself around (takes practice). 🤔

@Gargron those three rocks in the middle mean business

@Gargron It depends. One may also look at it as a geometrically designed depiction of absence. (Can relate, dragged analog equipment across mountainsides.)

@Gargron "Lacks a subject" is not a bug in this photo, it's a feature
