cizucu Presents 'Nightscape Show' | Challenge #155

'Nightscape Show' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest curates outstanding works from submissions, aiming to discover new talents as a platform and support the community.

Nightscapes are moments when everyday scenes transform magically. The enchanting world woven by light and shadow, the pulse of the city breathing in silence, and the mysterious nature blending into the starry sky—nightscapes have a special allure.

This time, the theme is 〈Nightscape〉. Capture the special moments created by streetlights, neon lights, starlight, moonlight, or silhouettes floating in the darkness in your photos.

Share the beauty of the night you felt with the cizucu community, regardless of season or location. We look forward to many submissions!

The final shot is a fantastical depiction of a dolphin show at an aquarium. The definition of nightscape varies, but capturing dynamic scenes in dim indoor settings as nightscapes might be an interesting approach.
