Foreground and Background (Canyonlands National Park)

Recently I'd come across an article on a photography RSS feed (www.howtogeek.com/338162/how-to-use-the-foreground-and-ba...). The author gave ideas on using foreground, midground and background to make for interesting compositions with images. I like that idea and felt it important to use it especially when angling my SLR camera downward. While my goal was to minimize flattening that tends to happen with wider angle images, I felt the author's idea was a complement to my thought. Here I used the nearby foreground at the Candlestick Tower View Point while looking across the canyons around the Green River and mesas beyond. The blue skies and clouds were the color contrast to complete the final setting for this image of Canyonlands National Park.
