I'd agree. Quite open really. Should be lots on entries. Nice time of year for it too.

yep, I hate all this 'does not meet theme' bollocks - if we want more people to enter we need to be more forgiving about people interpretations.
 
When I chose the theme I always assumed that there was a definite distinction between a seascape and a landscape.
But it seems that a landscape can also depict the sea, and a seascape contain areas of land.

Wikipedia defines them both as...........

"In the UK a seascape is defined in planning and land use contexts as a combination of adjacent land, coastline and sea within an area, defined by a mix of land-sea inter-visibility and coastal landscape character assessment, with major headlands forming division points between one seascape area and the next."

and

"There are two main meanings for the word landscape: it can refer to the visible features of an area of land, or to an example of the genre of painting that depicts such an area of land.[1] Landscape, in both senses, includes the physical elements of land forms such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea, living elements of land cover including indigenous vegetation, human elements including different forms of land use, buildings and structures, and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions."

So really anything goes.

My apologies tom tom ... I meant to link you in as theme chooser, but linked steeeeed instead - sorry!
 
"5000 pixels along the longest length"

My DSLR doesn't have 5000 pixels on its longest length. Is that a maximum or do you require upsizing?
