I suspect the composition of the mountains with the empty space between them, and the different cloud formations, are what gives the photo that sense of being able to walk right into it. You said, "your close texture one shows me . . . now that I can see the texture." I'm glad to hear that, also! Since, my goal in that composition was to capture that great texture. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Valerie BTW - The mountains in the black and white shot are a little over 2 miles away. Hi Pat,

I think both the texture showing pictures of the dry lake bed are great. I like the "boring" one cause I feel like I could just walk right into the picture and keep on walking right between the hills wondering why I thought those hills were so much closer than they really are! Now, your close texture one shows me why I would want to have a lot of water because now that I can see the texture, I know falling down from thirst would leave rug burns from that dry dirt that looked so welcoming just a minute earlier! For being in the same place you sure showed two differant emotions with those photos and I like them both! OK you say “kind of boring”, I say I would buy that picture and hang it in my family room.
