And the winner is:…………overly long dramatic pause…………. @Rockmeister with 11 votes for “The Dark Woods”

Well done! An excellent picture, beautiful, sinewy composition. Velvety, verdant textures and perfectly judged exposure. Classy work.
Honourable mention to @dan m with 8 votes for his pint of “Landlord Dark” that I can almost taste. Lovely composition and choice of focus. That could be a successful ad campaign.
I was very taken with @Whaleblue ’s dreamy star-trail and dusky cloud shot. It has an other-worldly naivety and immediacy that went straight to my subconscious. Could be an ECM album cover for Scandi- Jazz. “Dark from Graiglockhart Hill” by @alanbeeb hit me with nostalgia. I know exactly that time of evening, towards the end of a walk, a too-soon sunset when day and night are both up for grabs. Good cropping too.

Well done all and thank you for taking part!

Over to the @Rockmeister...
