Visited friends and we had a pumpkin carving party. I carved a cat pumpkin. The others were carved by two artists, a CGI cinematographer, and a five year old little girl (with help with the carving part). Can you guess which is which? One of the carvers did two. I cropped and used dodging and burning to bring out the separate pumpkins and darken the background. I cloned out a bit of light from a second carving on the back side of one of the pumpkins and sharpened using unsharp mask.

Obviously, ou are the over-achiever among your gang! The winner, of course, is the no-brainer pumpkin in the center with the perfectly lit, star filtered candle in its mouth! (Of course, you took the picture, so that makes you better in the end!)
=)
Nice use of the Star 8 filter here but I feel that the number of pumpkins ( 6 ) is not sitting too well perspectively as the large one top right makes it seem unbalanced. Awesome pumpkin carvings mind :0) Good Luck
