What you need to understand here is that the photos are not particularly interesting for how you took them, but rather for how visually pleasing the setting and weather are. Fog, low clouds, mountains, spruce trees, etc. tend to just be nice to look at, if only for how rare they are to most people's lives. The composition is pretty boring in both photos, though.
>>4204073Some trees and dead ferns. Wow, bro. You're really captivating my heart, lol.
>>4204074Some dirt and an empty field. Yep, there's a mountain there too.
Now imagine if you had taken those beautiful settings as a backdrop and had people in the foreground - or wildlife, or some artifact of humans having been there. Not every photo needs people, but you can tell a story that most people will be able to understand at a glance with people in your photo. All of the most interesting landscape photos I've ever seen have had some sort of interesting element, rather than just being a background of some trees or a ridgeline.
