>Below are a few image posting guidelines for the landscape
>forum as well the monthly contest. Generally speaking this
>forum is nature-based. However, there are a few grey areas we

>and are not, acceptable to post here. Those that are not will
>be moved to the appropriate forum such as; A Picture I Took,
>Panorama, Macro/Close-Up, Architechtural....
>
>Acceptable: nature landscapes, buildings like
>castles…that are in a landscape setting as that provides
>context, bridges, cityscapes looking from the outside
>in like a skyline, fireworks, lunar or stellar captures
>like the milky way and certainly star trails, parks inside a
>city where the subject is the park, or the park in the city,
>NOT a city with a park.
>
>Unacceptable: People in landscapes such that the
>person attracts enough attention to become the subject
>of the image. A person, or people, that are small and
>unavoidable, or in background are okay. City streets, shot
>from within a city, like a neighborhood with buildings are
>not considered landscapes. Single or small group of flowers
>close-up belong in the Macro/close-up forum, but rows of
>flowers, especially if they include a distinct pattern are
>okay.
>
>Stitched panoramas belong in the Panorama forum.
>However, stitched landscape panoramas are welcome in the
>monthly challenge . Cropped-single images, i.e.,
>unstitched images, that have a aspect ratio like a panorama
>are okay to post here. This distinction is made since in
>addition to the aspect ratio, the method of stitching and
>capture technique used to create the resulting panorama
>provides useful information for those trying to learn and be
>inspired. Therefore, stitched panoramas should only be posted
>in the Panorama forum (except contests).
>
>Also, digitally enhanced images are acceptable as long as they
>look more like a photo than art - this guideline is more
>critical in monthly contests than regular posts where this
>guideline may be slightly relaxed. We will have an annual
>'Digital Art' competition to allow members to showcase their
>digital darkroom skills.
>
>These guidelines may be slightly modified but the theme should
>be such that you would call the image a landscape capture
>Also, if you are not aware, Nikonians now offers a dedicated
>Infrared and Ultraviolet forum.

>Thanks and Happy Posting!!!
