Looking in or out.  Window can be open; it can be a store window.   Should be an interesting subject seen through the window.  Reflections are allowed but cannot be the primary subject.

Clear depiction of some ongoing elements of a story.  Static isolation is not acceptable such as a person sleeping.

The image must convey the condition of something wet.  No body of water such as Ocean, River, Lake, Puddle or Waterfall.  An example could be wet rocks.

A prominent part of the image should be strong leading line(s) which highlights the main image. The image would lose impact without those lines.

The image must be in pure black and white with all shades of gray allowed.  No other colors.

Purple focal point in the image covering at least half of the image area.

Main image must be dark uniform density with no internal details.  The remainder of image is totally up to the photographer.

Frame must be in the original scene, not added in post.  Does not have to be in nature such as trees.  Could be man-made such as shooting a sailboat framed by sides of a pier.

(Note changes due to Passover:  Workshop on 3/29)

Image is detached from physical reality.  It may not pictorially represent reality.

Any means of transport of wheeled vehicles running on rails.  May be the actual cars, engines, tracks or obviously related material.
