Sometimes compositions don't need to be too clever. I had a beautiful red lake in front of me with really stunning light. But I was searching for a dramatic composition and I simply couldn't find one.

Photographs work on many levels and often for different reasons too.

Surely it's enough to document a place for what it is?

I loved the light and I loved the colour of the red lake (created by the sediments being stirred by the Altiplano winds).

I just couldn't find a strong composition.

It is what it is.

I gave in to what it was and somehow, I'm no longer angst about not finding that killer composition.
