I find this so well done that I cannot even say more.
What puzzles me (but this is NOT a criticism) is the presence of some greenish/grayish hue between the light areas and the shadows. In my pictures I think that it is a defect because in a painting this area would not be greenish; and it's unfair and unproductive though to compare a photo with a painting.Just a thought.

I dislike to leave comments only after the results - it seems unfair - but I forgot to look at this challenge during voting. It would have been 10

So perfectly balanced. The big,red pumpkin longing for more light...a beauty.
I wish I knew how far away is your background from your objects. And what light. What do I know. Your patience in arranging and lighting is exquisite.

I don't know where you found this whimsical creature!
I forgot (again) to vote and look at this challenge and as much as I find odd to make comments after the results, I had to tell you that this is one of the most endearing and funny image of an owl.
