A scree slope runs the full width entirely crusted in lichen, every boulder carrying concentric rings of ochre, rust and pale green over its whole face. It fills the frame. Every ring edge held sharp. One figure alone in dark clothes stands on the slope, tiny. Hard raking sun from the left. crystal-clear air, no haze, hard high sun, very high contrast with deep black shadow present, no grain. full rich colour across the whole frame with every surface carrying its own real hue, but nothing pushed to maximum intensity and nothing neon or electric, colour deep and true rather than bright, highlights clean and small with no blown-out white areas, deep shadow present
