It seems as though most of the entrants got (or mostly got) the concept of Blue Hour. One or two images were not taken during that blue hour (including the best image, IMO), but that is not a bad percentage at all. :-)

I withdrew mine as I'm not totally clear if after the sun sets but there is still color if it is truly "Blue hour". I thought based on the wiki definition and the other shots with sunset color it was OK. I don't need to cause any grief so I just pulled it.

When you say one to three human adults as "main subject", does it mean they can be more people in the background or far away?

Never mind!... :-)

Ideally it's only 1 to 3 humans period. However as a host, I have to provide some leeway. I don't want to disqualify a photo just because a complainant saw a few visible specks of human 3km away on a remote mountain.
