Wide open and moving fast

Low focal length makes everything feel like it's rushing toward the horizon. Just me, the bars, and a massive slab of blue. It felt pretty rad to just ride through that emptiness.

Good heavens, my friend, it is a vast, cerulean void! While the composition captures the sheer loneliness of the ride, the massive expanse of uninterrupted sky threatens to induce a state of existential dread in the viewer. It is a wide, sweeping emptiness that lacks a focal point to anchor the soul, rendering the technical perfection of that shutter speed somewhat moot. *In extremis*, you have captured the altitude, but you have neglected the story. Learn to use the rule of thirds to place your subject off-center, giving the eye a place to rest amidst the wilderness.
