Photography definitions:
Close-up: a photo taken close to the subject or with a focal-length lens to permit a close and detailed view of the object. The object fills most of the frame (FS&JG Book 5, 2023)
Landscape: a view of the scenery of any kind from wilderness vistas to urban cityscapes, land, or sea. Primary subject is the scenery, and it must dominate although the image may contain secondary elements such as people, animals, or objects.
(FS&JG Book 5, 2023)
Monochrome: an image is considered to be monochrome only if it gives the impression of having no color (i.e. contains only shades of grey which can include pure black and pure white) OR it gives the impression of being a grayscale image that has been toned in one color across the entire image. (for example by Sepia, red, gold, etc) A grey scale or multi-colored image modified or giving the impression of having been modified by partial toning, multi toning or by the inclusion of spot coloring does not meet the definition of monochrome and shall be classified as a color image.
