Remember the photographer that recently sold a retouched inspiration for $Millions?   Well, I'm going to tell you how you can make one for yourself; my name's Lisle Krolsky by the way (an inside joke that only folks who know me will enjoy; lol).  Each of the reduced images can be seen at their respective resolution by clicking on them.    :)

 

 

1.    Take a crop of your target image that you want stretched.

2.  Copy the sliver to fill your desired landscape width.

3.  Horizontal Blur (high radius).

Below's the result of the blur:

4.   Run resysthesizer using the target crop and the blur result with the following settings.

5.   Now do some cloning and other enhancements and you get the result below (yes, I re-introduced the tree; lol):

Additional Tweaks:

 

Same flow above, but if you increase the sensitivity to outliners, you can get a more cleaner result.

result (and again, just a few more clone clean up steps but no where near my last effort):
