[ ok, also i'm a little dense lately (i'm going to claim NaNo and pray you guys believe it. (^^') ). the theme this time is yuuyake (夕焼け) which they have translated in the contest banner as "Evening Glow." yuuyake is basically sunset, used as opposed to yoake (夜明け) which means 'daybreak' and literally means 'evening burning.' so git them cameras out an' start a'snappin' sum shots~ (^_^) ]

Is he expecting to get sunset pictures or are all evening pictures like citylights ect ok too?

Hmm planning my entry so I would know my potions.

as far as i know, anything having to do sunset is okay. given the past winners, he's chosen ones that adhere more strickly to the theme, but the interpretation of the theme is pretty wide open.

Thanks.

Grrrr so for now my currently planned entry plan is a no no. If I don't get a good sunset picture bu the deadline I'll just sent my current one of the first snow of this season. Glowing because of the reflection :)
