Definitions for the set subjects
Shadows showing contrast and patterns:
An image incorporating shadows which contrast with the surroundings and creates patterns. The objects or people casting the shadows can be included but should not be the dominating element. The artistic or creative elements should be the predominant consideration in judging this image.
Human or Animal Action
An image depicting a person or animal, or people, or animals involved in movement.
Triptych
A single framing, comprising three images, which together tell a story or illustrate an artistic concept.
Street Photography
Street photography is photography conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents within public places. The strength of the story told by the image should be the predominant consideration in judging.
People at Play
An image that depicts a person or people in the act of enjoying themselves. For example the image may depict people playing a sport, relaxing, engaged in discourse, etc.
Still Life
Still life photography is the artistic depiction of objects at rest, most typically a small grouping of objects. In this particular case, it may also include botanical subjects (typically flowers but not live animals) either arranged or isolated on a plant.
More than Two
An image that depicts a grouping of three or more elements within a particular environment to form an artistic whole. The elements should be related (though not necessarily identical).
Geometry
An image where geometrical elements predominate; e.g. circles, triangles, lines, etc. The elements may be man-made or found in nature.
Nature in Your Neighbourhood
An image of an animal or plant photographed within your neighbourhood. In this case, household pets are not allowed, but cultivated plants are allowed.
