 Definition:
 Nature photography records all branches of nat
 ural history except anthropology and archaeology. This includes all aspect
 s of the physical world\, both animate and inanimate\, that have not been 
 made or modified by humans.
 
 &nbsp\;Nature images must convey the trut
 h of the scene that was photographed.
 A well-informed person should be a
 ble to identify the subject of the image and be satisfied that it has been
  presented honestly and that no unethical practices have been used to cont
 rol the subject or capture the image.
 Images that directly or indirectly
  show any human activity that threatens the life or welfare of a living or
 ganism are not allowed.
 The most important part of a Nature image is the
  nature story it tells.
 High technical standards are expected\, and the 
 image must look natural.
 Objects created by humans\, and evidence of hum
 an activity\, are allowed in Nature images only when they are a necessary 
 part of the Nature story.
 Photographs of human-created hybrid plants\, c
 ultivated plants\, feral animals\, domesticated animals\, human-created hy
 brid animals and mounted or preserved zoological specimens are not allowed
 .
 Images taken with subjects under controlled conditions\, such as zoos\
 , are allowed.
 Controlling live subjects by chilling\, anaesthetic or an
 y other method of restricting natural movement for the purpose of a photog
 raph is not allowed.EDITING GUIDELINES
 Processing or editing must be lim
 ited to making the image look as close to the original scene as possible\,
  except that conversion to grayscale monochrome is allowed.
 Allowed edit
 ing techniques:
 
 Cropping\, straightening and perspective correction.

 
 Removal or correction of elements added by the camera or lens\, such as 
 dust spots\, noise\, chromatic aberration and lens distortion.
