Definitions Used and Judging Criteria
WHITE OR GREY BORDERS OF 3 , 4, or 5 PIXELS IN WIDTH ARE PERMITTED. LARGER, SMALLER OR COLOR BORDERS ARE NOT PERMITTED. Entrants are, however, advised that borders of less than 5 pixels may appear incomplete in the smaller images used in the final Catalog due to jpeg artefacts.
Section 1 (General):
- A Photo Travel image expresses the characteristic (distinctive) features or culture of a land as they
are found naturally. There are no geographic limitations. Images from events or activities
arranged specifically for photography, or of subjects directed or hired for photography are
not appropriate. Close up pictures of people or objects must include features that provide
information about the environment.
- Techniques that add to, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not permitted. The only allowable adjustments are removal of dust
or digital noise, restoration of the appearance of the original scene, and complete
conversion to greyscale monochrome. Other derivations, including infrared, are not
permitted. All allowed adjustments must appear natural.
- Sequences are not permitted.
