"I miss you, pumpkin..." is a very interesting choice for the Love II challenge. I think voters have a really hard time with photos in this challenge that don't give off a happy or positive feeling about love.
Overall I think this is a very intriguing shot, it really makes you stop and think. I really like how long the image feels because of the lines created from the background window and streaks of rain. The coloring is very grunge and gives the photo more of an emotional feeling. I think I would be curious to see the pumpkin moved over more to the side. The lighting looks good, I really like the glow on the upper part of the background.
Nice work, I think if the challenge was something different you might have scored higher. Keep up the good ideas!
This one definately needs the title to help it meet the challenge in my opinion. I feel sadness and lonliness without it. Interesting background with the foggy window, but the pumpkin itself seems a bit dark.
So ... the pumpkin is missing another pumpkin somewhere outside the window? Mayve left behind on the vine when this one was picked? Interesting take on the challenge.
