Oh, 6th place! yay
Yes, I know. Not the most creative pumpkin carving. More traditional. It was already carved by the time the contest was announced and had to make due with what I had ;) Oh and if anyone is wondering about the strange sland of the floor, it was actually tilted. It seems straight because there is a step beside the pumkin that stays straight. Well, anyhoo. Thank you everyone who voted and commented!

In my opinion, This should have gott'n a ribbon! Two of the three ribon winners, (and I say with a smile) were very over rated. Yours was a better photograph!! They might have had better pumkins but this is a photo contest not a carving contest. Please don't get me wrong... Your carving was cool. LOL
Great photo!!
Love the angle and exposure!
I love it Anna! great job, i still stand by my comment! great mood, it's too bad you have to look at a pumpkin everytime you view your profile though ;^) a very attractive pumpkin tho, lol. great shot, looks like alot of effort went into it!
I really like this photo...the only thing....is it tilted? It looks like the backboard is straight...maybe the angle? Maybe me??? lol Anyhow I really like this...
It seems so much like a ceramic pumpkin.... But I didn't see any DPC cops out tonight....so I'll just appreciate the appeal of this object in its environment which is pleasantly rendered with a limited dof and side-lighting which enhances the textures of all objects present.
Nice! i really love this one! the grunge type style works superbly here! the aged wood, and the contraast of the pumpkin make for a captivating, and eye catching photo! i love the way you utilised the foreground!
Nice job with the lighting. I like the rugged look of the pumpkins surroundings. Such a nice symmetrical face on that Jack. You know it wasn't carved by moi!
This is a really understated photograph, and I like it. This is one of the less decorative pumpkins, yet one of the best photos I've seen. You make good use of the surrounding textures, contrast in color the composition and proportions are good, and the DOF all cause the eye to focus on the pumpkin. You don't try to to do too much with the lighting...(I don't know if it's natural or unnatural)....it's just plain and simple. Kudos.
I love the low persepctive, the lighting and the way the pumpkin advances against the dark background and floor. I also really like the classic pumpkin carving. Good work.
The tilted floor contribute to this easy ambiance...
Maybe with more saturated colors the ambiance would have been reinforced...but nice shot anyway ;)
