Agreed, an interesting thread.
Another thing I've noticed is that the presentation format (about 5x7"
on my screen) is a problem for some kinds of landscapes, just as 4x6
prints are. Some 'wide angle' landscapes just don't look good in such a
small format. Everything in an 18 or 21mm shot of a "common picture of a
rolling fields with a big ole mountain in the background" with maybe a
BIG sky full of clouds just looks puny in a small size. I'm not
complaining, I think it provides an interesting challenge that livens up
the subject. I'm thinking through the idea of a 'small landscape'. It's
a potentially interesting idea for big city dwellers too.

I think that this TOPE's intentions of a "landscape" cover just about
every kind of 'scape discussed thus far. It's getting a bit crazy to
assume that the only "correct" TOPE entry is a "common picture of a
rolling fields with a big ole mountain in the background"..... Photos
mean different things to different people - that's what's so great
about the lack of clearly defined guidlines for the TOPE.
