What a great set of photos. I think you’ve all caught the spirit of dusk, you certainly haven’t made it easy to judge.

@mollyc made me smile. The colours of the sinking sun shine through and the blur adds it’s own part of the story

@Steven-iphone woods can be dark and dusky places. Lots of intrigue here, what is hiding in the shadows

@oblomow a photo that should be printed and hung on the wall. I like the use of reflection as the sun goes to rest

@OldMacs4Me another couple of minutes and the light would be gone. One wonders what stories are being written in the shadows.

@katbel a photo that makes you want to be there, sitting watching the view and the mackerel sky.

@someoldguy beautiful rendition of the suns last rays coupled with the primordial rocks. I like this one a lot

@bsamcash the rocks, the waves, the glow. The rocks speak of ancient stories of geology.

@VulchR what can I say, you’ve captured it all. The light, the composition, the mood. The moon is the icing on the cake.

@Idun098TZZ nice use of the river to draw the eyes to the sunset. A very mood filled shot

@imac wannabe a photo that appeals to me as an aviation enthusiast. It’s a view I can never tire of. I imagine myself sitting there with my forehead glued to the window, looking forward to my holiday.

@Apple_Glen_UK another shot that calls out to me. An evening walk before heading home for a wee dram

@Janichsan the light, the colours, the solitude. Nicely captured and presented

@mackmgg colours well captured while retaining some detail in the shadows. The calm of the evening calls out to me

It hasn’t been easy selecting a winner, not much separating the top 2 in my opinion.

3rd - @oblomow - @katbel - @imac wannabe
2nd - @VulchR
1st - @someoldguy

Special mentions - @Apple_Glen_UK and @mackmgg

Thank you all for telling your stories of dusk. You’ve left me with a big smile on my face.

Baton handed over to @someoldguy
 
I can imagine the difficulties to decide for this one: all beautiful!
Congratulations to the winner and the others on the podium
Thanks to the judge for considering me : I would like so much to be in Hawaii too!
 
So I guess now I can admit my ignorance. Is dusk the moment right before sunset or right after?
 
Technically Its the bit after sunset. The further you are from the equator the longer it lasts

for example today:
Glasgow in Scotland at nearly 56N, sunset was 15:53, end of dusk was 16:37, so nearly 45 minutes.
Las Palmas in Gran Canaria at 28N, sunset was 18:07, end of dusk 18:32, 25 minutes
