The idea of making the foreground the main motif never occurred to me, surprising what you have done with it.
One more thing, my monitor was apparently set too dark, I saw no difference between areas 1 and 2.
I suspect many screens/smartphones do not display these gradations, could be important for the next tour. I am currently looking at the three pictures and I don't know yet what will come out, we will see :-)
I often shoot nature and the first plans are very expressive. Maybe that's where this idea comes from))
A lot depends on the features of vision. I'm also bad at distinguishing zones 1 and 2. In any case, it's worth a try.
Ok, then I'm reassured.
