At first glance, the eye is immediately drawn to the center of the image because of the varying lines engraved in the mountain. As you begin to take in the rest of the photo, it is as if you are able to follow the lines spread throughout the mountain. The major curved areas of the mountain are the rule of thirds points of interest. Because this was taken at an upwards angle, the diagonal rule is present near the ridge of the mountain. Although it isn't a completely straight pathway, the rough edges against the sky differentiates the mountain from open space.
While the rule of thirds is visible in the shapes of the rock, it also becomes a vector in the shot. The lines lead the eye to go up and down and side to side to observe all the movement happening. In a way, this photo appears as if it isn't a photo at all. Instead, it looks like these lines are moving in real time, forming all the different shapes of this mountain. I think the message viewers can take away from seeing this is that nature isn't stagnant. It is constantly changing, no matter what angle you may be looking from.
