I am continually asking people to crop down their images to the point that I feel that people may think I only like macros.  The point is that the photographer should decide what turns them on and then take everything else out.  Keep to your insight and throughout all the junk.  If it works the photo-artist has made the viewer feel the same inspiration for the image.

This photograph of the eastern Sierra Nevada has captured the grandeur of the landscape without making us wade through any unnecessary information.  It tells us about the dry climate in the foreground, the flat scrub of the hills in the middle ground and the snow capped mountains in the distance.  The subject of this composition is not the tufa in the foreground but the entire eastern side of this mountain range.

Graphically you will not that the snow capped mountain in the distance is attached to and separated from the tall tufa on the right by the dark foothill.  The clods obscuring part of the distant landscape adds additional depth, also note that the shape of the tufas act as a frame for or a window to the mountain.
