More intimate landscapes

I am less and less satisfied when I make what I consider a “standard” landscape, even if said landscape is well-composed, sharp, and done with good light.

I feel much more satisfied when I am able to come up with a more intimate landscape–intimate meaning that it is more personal…it comes from deeper within me. It feels more original and truer to my personal way of seeing the world.

This image might be an example of what I mean. It doesn’t resemble anything another photographer might typically have captured if presented with the same scene I was…which is good.
