Great shot of this wonderfully decorated pumpkin. The flowers make it with the contrasting color and their greeenery.

Love the topknot of straw on the head of the old boy.
Very creative and fun.

great image and pumpkin to. nicely framed next to some exotic plants. always nice to have created the subject and the colours look vibrant and strong. the base is ideal for mounting the head.

Hmm...I like the idea but feel it does not work as well as it might. Cropping closer to your subject matter may help a bit? You are welcome to disagree. Robin

Good shot. Lighting is good. Great story telling ability. Love a happy pumpkin, his hair is amazing. Like the way you have filled the frame. Colors are harmonious. I very much enjoyed viewing this.

this is a good snapshot of an orange pumpkin up against neutral vinyl siding surrounded by very interesting red and orange flowers, atop a rustic looking stool.

oh... i think that might be a banana in there as well off to the right hand side of the pumpkin. :)

thank you for sharing this :)
