The issues you have brought up here and previously on the site talk forum are known to the site owner/operators. You are not alone in being frustrated by the apparent ambiguity of what belongs there. I would hope after all the teeth gnashing on this thread
The thread "New Landscape Photos section" in
Site Talk forum
that you would appreciate how everyone views the situation a little differently. I don't think it's fair to disqualify a photo from this section because 2 plants look nearly identical, or because a picture was taken indoors, or because none of the leaves are showing.
To the extent an image displays 2 or more different plants, or parts of 2 or more different plants, it belongs in the Landscape Photos section. That is the least narrow definition I can think of. You are of course welcome to disagree, and I'm sure others do as well.
Some people think the section only pertains to plants in the ground, or has something to do with big rocks, and Trish has made clear that she would rather use the broadest possible definition for Landscape Photos, to the extent they don't even want to display text on the submission page indicating what sort of pictures belong there. It is pretty much a free-for-all. I have indicated my understanding of what constitutes a landscape photo in the second post in that thread, and it seems to be accepted as a basic minimum by concensus, if not certification.
