I didn't realise Ricky's balcony picture was intended as an entry to the February Challenge until I had read an earlier thread where he was, quite rightly, asking for clarification before proceeding. My dictionary definition of Landscape reads, 'a picture representing a view of natural inland scenery', obviously the optimum word being 'inland'. The definition for a Seascape reads, 'a view of the sea'. I fully realise dictionary definitions are not the bee all and end all when it comes to the parameters of the Monthly Challenge, but have they gone too far this time? I dont think it possible to put Ricky's picture in the first category and to all intents and purposes it fits the second category to a tee. It is therefore a Seascape image. Perhaps the title of this months Challenge should be changed to 'Love of Scapes'. scape= the shaft of an animal part (Merriam-Webster) Just my thoughts...........Dennis
