| Guidelines: | A landscape should represent the pictorial aspect of an expanse of scenery that can be seen in a single view. It may be a countryside, sea or town scene. It is further defined as a ‘large vista’ image of the natural environment (land or sea), urban or industrial settings. It may include people but these should be incidental rather than the main subject. |
