From the crest of a mountain road, we can envision our journey through the distant valley, to the oasis town of Tineghir. This is a “vista image” (See my entire gallery on vistas at http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/vistas ) To make a vista work in terms of composition, it is important that the eye move through it with ease. In the case of this vista, I have built it in layers, featuring a twisting mountain road in the foreground that leads the eye into the image, followed by a village in the middle layer as a focal point, and then backed by a layer of ridges that take the eye into the far background.
