Taking in Montezuma Castle National Monument by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view looking to the north-northeast while taking in the setting of Montezuma Castle National Monument in northern Arizona. With this image, I zoomed into the main cliff dwelling but still included a little bit of the surrounding cliff face as a "frame" to the image.

My Time for a Getaway in Indiana Dunes National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking through the national park beach house structure and looking to the north-northeast to the distant water of Lake Michigan. Here I used the concrete walkway as a leading line into the image. I also decided to use the framing of the beach house structure and keep that more or less in silhouette to draw the viewer into the image with that sliver of blue waters at the end of the walkway.

Change of Pace at Brooks Camp and Katmai National Park & Preserve by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view standing outside the Brooks Lodge with a view looking to the north-northeast. During my travels to national parks, I like to capture images of the lodges where I've stayed or visited. With this image, I pulled back on the focal length to include more of the surrounding landscape with the tall trees as a backdrop.
