The setup is good. The capture of the light is great. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of these 3 pumpkins is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and great job overall

Stark image is this but in a way its quite stunning,ordinary subject but done in such a way it stands out and normanally these in color would be better but somehow it works for this one,like the shadows in this...Brian

your welcome

An excellent still life photograph with light and shadow perfectly handled.
The three pumpkins are placed nicely in the frame and your use of black background complements them well.

Very nice B&W arrangement with a reminder of autumn and the harvest season. One of my favorites, home made pumpkin pie. I enjoy the simplicity of the presentation, LeeAnne. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

Your procedure to obtain this is interesting and the results fruitful. I did not know there were white pumpkins, but I am glad to learn this. Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest.

Thank you for the review, they seem to be coming out with new varieties in a number of colors, including yellow and bluish shades.

Comment from ElliR
They are defects, they have no eyes and no mouth :) ( just joking.. ) , they look good and your picture is very nice.
The background is really dark and they seem like almost floating in there, but otherwise everything is fine I think.
I like how they fill up the frame. It seems you paid attention to the size ( big , medium , small ) and placed them nicely .

Comment from eileen0204
Wow!

the pumpkins drew me in.. my favorite gourds.

but your Black and White handling of these three is so perfect!

Tonal values are off the charts and the simple arrangement is so comforting.

I wish you the best in the contest!!
