Landscape Photography - Ansel Adams


Mount Williamson from Manzanar - Ansel Adams

What I like about this image:

Technically, this shot is excellent. It utilizes the rule of thirds by  having the mountains and the sky cover the top third of the frame. It shows an incredible range of values. Everything in the shot, from the rocks in the foreground to the clouds in the back, is pin sharp.
I love the way the rocks lead my eyes towards the mountains in the background. The visible light rays in the background make the mountains seem even more majestic.
