A small cliff area nearby, ... Cameral pointing almost straight up.
Too weird of an angle?
No not weird at all, just different and welcomed. Great colour and texture contrast between the rich warm tones of the rock, the smooth cold blue sky and white highlights of the clouds.
It’s an interesting photograph to look at, and my eye wanders across the rock face, but there’s little to hold my attention for too long, no internal dynamic or story to keep me looking or wondering. But, then again, those are qualities that are rare in most photographs.
Both are well seen and executed. If I had to choose, I would say the first is more compelling.
