| I think a good part of this challenge was also the 'perception' of sunrise/set. The best photos it was more clearly defined, and I think that is what he was looking for. I have to say, I agree. Tho not with all the photos he used as suggestions. So its not that they werent great shots, not that they werent shot at the proper time, its that the average view might not be able to ascertain that. Those shots that on top of it being a great shot, you could also more easily see that it was a sunset/sunrise shot seemed to have scored better. |

| The OP said the same thing about my photo. Yes, my photo was black and white but there is no way to have that kind of light and shadow except at sunset. |

| I didn't even participate in this challenge... yet I find this whole thing frustrating and unnecessary. Just saying. |

Several people have tried explaining it in very thorough and very nice ways, and the OP still doesn't get it.
I think this is just a case of agreeing to disagree, because clearly the OP is not going to change their mind, despite the quite excellent and intelligent responses.

Let me try explaining it...
Daniel, the challenge was based on a certain premise: that most of us, when out at sunset or sunrise, tend to focus our attention ON the sunrise or sunset itself, looking in the direction of the sun. When we do this, we often miss the most beautiful, fabulous lighting effects you can imagine. Very often, the "best" pictures can be found by turning away from the sun and looking at what's being lit, not what's doing the lighting.
So for this challenge, the idea was to "look away" and show us what the late (or early) light does to the things it strikes, because it can be ephemerally soft & beautiful.
And nearly all of these images you have singled out for your comment have done just that. So they ARE, in fact, responsive to the challenge. The challenge wasn't about shooting sunsets or sunrises; it was about shooting what sunset/sunrise light does as it sweeps across objects and scenes.
It was, on the whole, a nicely-seen challenge IMO :-)
