 Late night barbecue in a canvas sided gazebo with an open hole in the roof and a Bon fire inside. 10 second exposure the title was going to be Life is a Party but the shadows reminded me of the movie , close encounters of the third kind. I don't know how this will do but I like the feeling of it.

Winter evening view of a gazebo - lit & occupied for a gathering. A skimpy and unusual place to be on a cold night. I like this structure - really interesting shadow forms on the translucent plastic.

You've got a spaceship full of aliens and a full moon - it doesn't get any better than that! Very well seen and quite good for this challenge as well.

That was a great movie and with that suggestion, this photo is really creepy!

This photo has lots of mysteries going on. It's really nice. I wonder ... is it a cult meeting or what? Haha. Nice photo!

A nice picture, but I would have been tempted to get in closer and focus more on the shadows than the surroundings.

Fun shot. I think I'd prefer to be in the nice, warm enclosure!

Nice title :)

It looks very alive, or full of life, in there.

Very much out of this world kind of shot. I like your idea and the mood created by the moonlight. All very sinister and mysterious looking. Aliens do exist after all. 9
