Took a ride in the country. Saw a field with rotting pumpkins. Looked till I found one with a face! Cropped, sharpened, adjusted contrast and saturated a little.

Thanks for all the comments. I am very pleased with my 9th place finish. Often times there is so much work to set up a picture to get it right. Mother nature made it easy for me.
Meets the challenge theme well. I really like the deep rich colors of burnt orange and brown here, as well as, the testure. Imo, the compostiion is lacking and I wish you could have included more brown leaves and green grass to balance things out a bit. The grain also is film like and very appealing to my eye.
Nicely found! I think the frost gives good context to a "seasonal" item gone rotten. The inclusion of leaves on the right seems so appropriate, but the crop still bothers me--I'm not sure why, maybe it's just too even top, bottom and left--that's hardly much to help you, just want more weight below the pumpkin, I guess.
I find this photo to be a little dark and out of focus a little bit. Perhaps a fill flash or a difused flash would have added a little more light without ruining the picture.
very nice. the frost (i am hoping thats not mold), really adds to the shot. gives the pumpkin an old man look...not that i know any pasty white, scaly old men...but it just gives me that feeling...in other words...nice shot
