When using a wide-angle lens to create a landscape image, pay attention to what is close to you, not just the distant scene. Find an interesting subject related to the scene, such as these sagebrush bushes, move the camera in close and low, and you invite your viewer to "step into" the picture. If you photograph from your standing height, you shoot over these objects, often leaving the foreground in your pictures empty of anything visually interesting.
