Hi Rajan,
This view is new to me and fascinating. I wonder what forms of life are unique to this odd chemical basin. To observe this such landscape, you would have to sweep your eyes from side to side and up and down. For sure this is a vast and impressive view to try to capture in a single shot. I have only limited experience with the Canon 14mm lens for such wide views. I wonder whether this scene is beyond it's reach in that the top and bottom of the picture. It appears to lack detail in this projection. OTOH, your picture in your linked blog, with the 24-105 mm of the lake, even with cutting off the edges, is more satisfactory.
So it's possible that one might do better by taking a series of pictures with the 24mm focal length and stitching. Then one could choose a projection to optimize the scene.
I hope you will post the other pictures you have of this location as it's both enjoyable and educational!
