To make sense out of this mountain vista, I used color contrast from layer to layer to speak of the change in climate and geology. I fill over half my frame with an anchor of richly saturated red earth, strewn with small boulders. Boulders are small rocks, while mountains are very large ones, so there is a measure of scale incongruity in this image as well. The top half of my frame offers a series snow capped peaks wreathed in clouds. Without those clouds, we would have no top for this image. The sun on part of the cloud echoes the sun on the distant snow.
