Portrait Orientation in landscapes

Challenge #2 in the Travel and Sports series. Hosted by bikinchris.

Challenge has finished

Hey, you won't get that cover shot if you only shoot landscapes in landscape orientation! Show us your best or favorite image of landscapes but in portrait orientation! So go tall. Not wide.

Show full rules

Announced:

Friday, 29th January, 2010 (GMT)

Submissions:

Friday, 5th February, 2010 – Thursday, 11th February, 2010 (GMT)

Voting:

Friday, 12th February, 2010 – Thursday, 18th February, 2010 (GMT)

Processing rules:

No manipulations (changes in the actual content of the image), but everything else is game. HDR, boosted colors all are fair. Just don't clone out powerlines and such things.
REMEMBER, your image must be taller than it is wide!

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

These are the only rules: No manipulations (you can't move trees and such), but other techniques are fair game.
Only in portrait mode. You know, turn that camera sideways! They really don't have to be uncropped, just taller than they are wide. You know, so they fit on the cover of your favorite magazine with landscape shots.
