Snow-Capped Peaks Against Utah Desert Under Stormy Skies

A dramatic panoramic landscape showing a distant range of snow-covered mountains under a heavy, overcast sky filled with storm clouds. In the foreground, the arid Utah desert unfurls with cracked earth, red sandstone mesas, hoodoos, and sparse scrub, creating a stark contrast between cool, icy blues and bright whites of the snow and the warm reds and ochres of the desert. The lighting is moody and diffused, with occasional sunbeams piercing the clouds to highlight snow caps and cast long shadows across the desert floor. Composition uses a wide-angle perspective (16-35mm) with a low horizon to emphasize scale, leading lines from desert cracks toward the mountains, and a sense of vast, cold air and isolation. Style is hyper-realistic and cinematic, with high dynamic range and ultra-detailed textures of snow, rock, and dust; color grading emphasizes cool tones for the mountains and warm tones for the desert; atmosphere feels crisp, dramatic, and awe-inspiring.
