  2. Insects and Spiders Image  of one or more insects, each having six legs (although all legs do not need to be seen). Or of a spider or spiders.
  3. Table Top Still life image of one or more objects arranged and lit to attract the eye. 

Print

  1. On the Beach Taken from the beach and substantially including the beach within the image
