It was a smaller number of entries than I anticipated. Still, we have a crop of good pictures for this contest.

Please vote for a picture that best depicts our theme, which is Halloween.

Oops, missed this one! Janus' is clearly eye-catching, and clearly belongs to the current contest :-p :biggrin:, but the eyeshine and red-eye in hypatia's snap is clearly something out of a horror movie.
 
I really liked Janus'. Some folks must have missed this contest, because I'm seeing some really good entries in the "orange" contest up this week that would have fit with a Halloween theme too.
 
Less than a day left to vote in this contest, and it looks like Janus is running away with it! Get your votes in!
