The Dusk or Dawn gallery is posted, and it's a very healthy gallery,
too. Some nice shots in there. Take a look, and offer a friendly
critique, if you dare.

Pithy comments:

Bowser1& Bowser2: Both excellent shots, but how they fit the Dusk to
Dawn mandate baffles me. Bowser3 fits the mandate, but is a rather
trite view of a much-photographed setting.


All three shots were taken at dusk. the first one, I thought, was pretty
obvious, but I'll grant you the mushrooms isn't as obvious. But it was
taken at dusk and the light was really nice.

And once again, nobody likes that damned third shot.

Well, to me, a "dusk or dawn" photo ought to *look* like it was taken
at dusk or at dawn. I did like the mushroom photo, though.


True, and the mushroom light wasn't obvious. but the pano, I though, did
show a setting sun off to the side and low light. Maybe I amped it up a
little too much in PS.
