Architecture and Sky~
Examples:
.a sunset over a city or town i.e. a city skyline
.a sunrise at farm, showing a house and or barn
.a market place at dusk and such, i.e. showing the storefronts
.a dramatically stormy sky on a rural road with a farm or a museum or store with architectural appeal , being interesting and or artistic .It has to have some sort of building in it, a house, a store, a barn, a town street with buildings and so on.
.it also should be something that would look good as a main wall hanging image, such as in a living room or a waiting room.


The Sky is equally important in judging as the terrain.
Therefore the Sky needs to be a minimum of 1/3 of the composition and not exceeding 1/2.

The terrain can be whatever the photographer chooses depending on where they are located - it can be a town, a rural setting, a city, private property or commercial,but it would have to be something artistic and look good hanging on as wall art.
