Question.
I looked up "dusk" in the dictionary: n. The darker stage of twilight, especially in the evening. So would this be rejected because it was taken in the morning? Plus, it's too light.
Plus I hate the clutter.

Thanks, Kurt. It sounds like dusk is that time of the evening I was talking about elsewhere--when the deep dark blue of the sky makes my heart weep...
aw, shucks.
aw, shucks.

Oh, that's cool. I haven't seen a MINI child's car like that. The bear is pretty cute too. 
It just has to be MINI related. We have had diecast models and keys used in the past. So, the pedal car is contest approved

Astronomical dusk is the time at which the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time the sun no longer illuminates the sky.
Dusk should not be confused with sunset, which is the moment when the trailing edge of the Sun itself sinks below the horizon.

So this is my first entry for the PotM....when I submitted my file, my only confirmation that it worked was a "You don't have permission to view this topic" (or something to that effect) message. Does that sound right? maybe a little guidance for the newbie? Thanks in advance everyone!

Yeah, that's about it. Your entry is in there.
BTW, a couple people have submitted photos in broad daylight. Let's just say that while broad, my interpretation of "dusk" does not include a bright sunlit day with the sun directly overhead.
