Ty for sharing! 
Oooooooooooooooowhoo is the sound of a wolf howling, but I'm not so sure
There's a variety of reasons I vote for specific photos.
During the Preliminary Vote:
1) There are the 'lucky captures' when the Member was in the right place at the right time AND had their camera handy AND got a good shot.
2) For planned and staged photos, I'm more critical for obvious reasons.
3) Aesthetically pleasing photos can be lucky captures or planned. For those, it's the subject matter that guides me.
During the Final Vote:
I simply choose the photo that I wish I had taken. 
Thanks for Sharing.
I do wonder about photo contests in general, jthough, just what I'm asking here: What criteria do people use to decide which photos are winners?
Would love to hear from more people about this. Also trying to figure out a more exact answer on how I decide!
There might be more submissions if the contest in advertised in the GD and in the Lounge.
I'll try to help keep it kicked.
And I love your entry! It's perfect: atmospheric, spooky, the works!
My fingers are crossed too--unless I'm typing!
It sure sounds auspicious!
I thought you might put up one of your moons and photoshop a flying witch into it
And I can do it for you
But for a contest, I believe all the work must be done by the photographer.
I love 'em both.
Well done!
Glad you like mine!
