Guidelines are really powerful tools in photography. They are one of the first things they teach you, and when I'm looking for a composition, I always try to adhere to this principle.
In this specific case, I was walking on top of a sand dune in Death Valley National Park, and I decided to try something a bit different from my usual style. So, I aligned my camera so that the two diagonals started from the corners and finished together in one of the thirds intersections.
Maybe it's a bit abstract, but I think that from time to time, it is worth daring a little bit, and in the end, I really like the result.
