Tall and Skinny

It's not often that I create an image this tall and narrow but there's really no reason why not. Sure, it flies in the face a flat world in which we spend more time looking left and right than up and down, but if the subject matter fits, go for it.

By the way, the highlights were a bit washed out so I tamed contrast with Connetrix tone mapper, then increased local contrast with Akvis Enhancer. Oh yeah, the shot had too much depth subject to be covered by the 70-200 lens so it's actually five shots with focus shifted slightly between shots to cover the full near to far range then blended in Helicon Focus. But I did take the picture so give me some credit.
