What's in a Lansdscape ?



I am usually a portraits and Black and white kind of guy, but when I decided to try out some color film and shot this photo I fell in love with it. The owner of Bottle Village in Simi valley had in her madness set up this beautiful scenery that passers by had neglected to see. As much as I personally like this shot I couldn't decide weather or not it could be considered a Landscape. After asking around I got mixed responses, some claimed it was a portrait of the figurine and some thought it was a landscape. So my question to you now is this; whats your opinion? Is this a landscape or a portrait and why?

In my opinion landscape and documentation are up to the photographer. For most people when they think of landscape pictures they think of Ansel Adams, but for others they may see it differently. I don't have a very specific definition of landscape. I enjoy urban landscapes most though.
