heres a shot of a pumpkin, at first i just meant for it to be a snapshot, but the more i looked at it the more it grew on me, just wanting to see what people on the board think as always feel free to critique.

I like your crop but for whatever reason most of the shots I have looked at today seem to have harsh lighting and I would like a bit less contrast.

Still, this is good stuff.

That's a nice pumpkin and the colors are superbs but I agree about the harshness of the light. I think that I would have slightly underexposed this to soften the picture and better hide the candle in the "pumpkin mouth".

I disagree.
The harshess of the light and the contrast makes it for me.
It has an edgy slightly scary feel to it.

Nice, graphic image. Good for a Halloween cadr. Makes me want to try it.

thanks guys, some of the lighting was also affected by time of day (it was late in the afternoon with a strong orange cast), and putting the orange cast with an orange pumpkin and well its alot of orange, i might try shooting it more in the moring time.

I also think the high contrast and harsh lighting work well for this, gives it the fitting mood. Well done.

I'm a freak for saturated, contrasty pics. Love' em! I'm with Paul, Lava, and Mr. Yuck on this one. Great shot.
