This is a nightscape, not a landscape with a dark area on the outside. It's pretty, but not the same thing.

Author: Not just you, there are MANY entries NOT following the contest description.
Friiswiki, if you read the contest description, it CLEARLY states:
"landscapes which have a dark area on the outside..." That does NOT mean a nightscape with an illuminated area inside. Outside means OUTSIDE.

While I can well understand the desire to not exclude submissions, there is a very clear description of the contest, along with some very clear descriptions of an example:
"For instance a photo shot from the inside of a cave or through some bushes."

Nightscapes do NOT have "a dark area on the outside."
Contest descriptions are put there for a reason, and should be followed. That is why the suggestions page clearly requests:
"Please describe your theme idea as detailed as possible, with proper grammar and syntax, so misinterpretations are reduced to a minimum."

This misinterpretation of what constitutes a landscape with a dark area on the OUTSIDE is evident.
