I'm partial to Wilderness Run's big sky, mountains and the train's image of how small we are in their vastness.

This is actually the original image, which really shows the grandeur of Alaska. I cropped it down to a vertical format for the contest because I didn't think this would work as well on people's cellphones.

What do you think?

I like how this photo interpreted the theme. The receding vanishing point on the right makes an interesting composition. Thanks to all who entered!
