Any subject treated pictorially. A pictorial treatment is one embodying the elements of good design, arrangement of composition, and which reflects the personal interpretation of the photographer.
Comp 02 – Set only – Australian Landscapes: A photograph of natural land or coastal scenery taken within Australia, which may include people, buildings or other objects, provided that these elements do not dominate the photograph. Seascapes with no land do not fit the topic.
Comp 03 – Open & Set – Creative: The final image should contain extra elements outside the normal photographic process. It must contain some evidence of a photographic image. It may be produced by manipulating the camera at the recording stage, using filters in or on the camera, or by using photographic software and must be all your own images/textures used.
Per the Australian Photographic Society definition. See https://www.a-p-s.org.au/index.php/nature-definition
