Granitic mountain ranges

[Tony M]

Hi all,

Below are some photos of "La Pedriza" mountain ranges near Madrid, shortly before sunset. There were intermittent clouds and the colours of the granitic mountains changed rapidly as the clouds passed in front of the setting sun.

#1


#2


#3


#4

I like the composition of #3 the best. #1 and #2 seem to bring the rocks so close that perspective on where you are is lost. But I like wide landscapes so take that for what it's worth.

I'm unsure about #4. My eyes keep getting drawn to the city but my mind wants the side of the mountain to be the subject.

I really like the layers of color and textures in #2. I love the color in the foreground too.

#4 is my favourite, I like how my eyes go to Madrid and then I have move them to the rocks. Nice

Thanks Didace, Terry and Stephen for your comments. I like #1 and #3 the most, as the tones of the rocks interest me.

I wanted to show the contrast between the rocky mountain and the city in #4, which indeed creates a tension between them.
