Greetings from the Critique Club!
This is a very dramatic image. The backlit clouds have a wonderful shadowy texture that shows very well here. The bright, featureless moon adds the final touch that gives the intended occult feeling suggested by the title. The softness and noise add mystery. The composition works well; the dark cloud at the left is balanced by the moon being just to the right of center. A "rule of thirds" composition would have made a lovely photo, but the nearly centered moon gives this image more drama.
The photo does have some minor weaknesses. The dark cloud at bottom left is blotchy; it might be improved with a slight contrast adjustment (or Curves could give even more control). The border is a bit too much; just the black outside border would have enough, but the white distracts from the moon's brightness. |

| This does feel like it is from "The Witching Hour". I love the way the clouds look in this. |

| I like it very much. Maybe you could have got rid of some noise but what do I know? |

| Ooooh. One of my favorite books of all time. Great photo. I guess I'm a little biased because of the book, but I really like this imagery for the title. |

| Although this is a great shot I think it could be better brought the exposure down a stop or two so we could see the moon a bit more clearly. Remember the moon is light by full sunlight and sunny f16 can apply durning full moons. 7 |

| OK, but at least on stop over exposed. The moon is hard to photograph. I know... I've burned so much film trying to get it right myself! ;-) |

| This is interesting photo, well done. I think may be if you play with cropping you may get even better view and more attractive picture. I guess rule of third will do the work for you. But it̢۪s anyway great. |
