I just finished my voting for wide angle...I did not enter this challenge..but I had a question..I don't understand why so many portraits..I would think landscape would be the best thing? I'm not saying the portrait photos are bad...I would just think landscape would be better??? any suggestions about the portraits?

Wide angle lens/lense can be used for portraits. Makes them look almost like a cariacture of the person if done correctly.

Not sure if you've seen The Dog pictures, but it's the hottest thing started in Japan.

Here are a couple of links I found interesting that may help.

Look at the section on 'Focal Length and Perspective'

and this one:

The section on viewpoint.
