Here is another photo from Wakaw. The wide angle is an amazing lens, but it comes with a steep learning curve. Lately I've been trying to focus more on the composition of my photos. Since starting with the wide angle, I find myself back to square one. I have lots of (crooked) horizons smack in the middle of the photo, isolated subjects in the centre with distracting backgrounds, etc.

Right before sunset, the sun illuminated these hills, making the dry yellow bushes look like fires while the valley stayed in shadow. I like the contrast of shadows and light in this photo, and the appearance of the bushes. I couldn't salvage its composition no matter what kind of cropping I tried.
