Billed as the world's greatest photo game, GuruShots (opens in new tab) is an online platform that provides a fun, structured way to showcase your images while gaining global exposure for your work. 

By competing in epic challenges against millions of photographers, you can get instant feedback from over three billion monthly votes and increase your ranking from Newbie to achieve the ultimate status (and bragging rights) of Guru. 

GuruShots' challenges are voted on by the platform's Gurus and the wider community, and there’s a fresh challenge every day. Winners can receive prizes from GuruShots' sponsors such as Adorama, Kodak, Lowepro and Lensbaby. 

Sunsets are among the most beautiful sights in the world, and they make for the perfect photography subject. With the Epic Sunsets Challenge, we wanted you to show off your best photography as the daylight fades across the landscape.

The winning images are a visual splendour, and we particularly enjoyed seeing contrasting colours (11), silhouettes (16) and a stunning use of reflections (21). We highly recommend scrolling through all the commended entries!

The 20 highest ranked images will be published in Digital Camera Magazine (opens in new tab), and we're pleased to showcase these images below, along with the rest of the top featured photographs in the gallery that follows.
