Hello Pinnacles National Park!
While at the Chaparral Trailhead Parking after walking a few miles of trails in this part of Pinnacles National Park. The view is looking to the southeast to the High Peaks area in this part of the national park. What drew me into the setting was the layered approach in my mind that this area had. Nearby would be sage brushes that sloped downward from left to right. Then would come the volcanic and eroded rock formations on the more distant ridge. I decided to zoom in with a focal length and have this setting fill much of the lower and a little bit of the upper portion of the image. The blue skies and wisps of clouds would be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.
