What you describe is not a "landscape photograph". It is a photograph of
indian rock art on a cliff.

I would qualify my statement by saying that it is the case only if the
photograph is just of the rock art. However, if you include the
surroundings then it would be considered a landscape.

It seems that there is a lot of mixup on this thread. People are being to
generalized. Just because you are in a landscape doesn't mean your
photograph is a landscape.
