Buttermilk Range, Morning
Early morning light stikes a ridge in the Buttermilk Range, with the eastern escarpment of the Sierra Nevada in the background.

Beautiful layering to front and back.
I usually say landscape requires at least 3 layers but this one goes great with 2.
Thanks, Anton. I think there are a lot of ways to shoot landscape. Certainly the foreground, middle ground, background approach has led to a lot of very fine images, but so has a “near-far” combination, along with a number of others.
I like to think that the range of possibilities serves to let the photographer approach scenes in a variety of ways that may present different ways of seeing it. In this one, I was particularly drawn to the difference between the bright, saturated, and highly delineated foreground hill and the diffused, hazy, lower contrast effect of the mountains in the distance.
