This was fun. We carved 15 pumkins and had some pretty good group shots, had dry ice fog for effects (wanted a clear evening to get tree sillouette backgrounds...alas none worked well. Had a party Saturday night and the next morning Murphy the broccoli eating terrier had chewed on one of the pumpkins - its uncle rupert near the centre from the 'night of the living dead', In the end, this was the best I could do. My daughters and friends were a co-sculptors.

Wow! I knew I could make top 100 in this one but this is amazing - I'm a happy guy.
Thank you for the votes and the comments.
I didn't even see the grey bar on the side until the next day - its my inept use of photoshop. I had submitted an individual pumpkin photo (the grandkid with the led light in this photo) which I was reasonably happy with. Then when I had the family set up for Hallowe'en - adjusting candles, arrangements and exposures (while the trick'r'treaters were visiting), got this one with about 45 minutes left (we are 3 hrs behind dpc time). In my haste prepping the pic, the grey bar appeared. Oh well, the family was interesting enough to distract- I'll post a corrected version.
Thank you again dpc'ers, and thank you to Sara, Caitlyn and Lisa who did a lot of the carving.
Great! I particularly fancy that one with the sewn-together mouth ;-) The only irritation is that bizaar grey stripe along the left side. Was that intentional or some sort of mishap?
Looks like no matter how the challenge turns out, you're a winner! What a talented family of pumpkin carvers you must have! (Will this be ironed on to next year's reunion T-shirts?)
Nice. Lots of carvings there. The pic set up is very good, but some of the pumpkins seem overexposed. Not to worry, Im only voting the carvings themselves.
