Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, UT (September 17, 2016 5:55 pm)

Such a strange photo for me. When I look at the image visually, everything about the composition says that this image was taken with a wide angle lens from about 20 feet away.

In reality, this was taken from about 100 yards away with my telephoto zoom lens set to 330mm. I like the strong side angle of the lighting on the pinnacle rock sitting on the slab. The combination of those two elements become the entire photo with the hills and shrubs in the background filling in a little atmosphere.
