I think this show was very underrated. It doesn't necessarily meet that DPC cliche image, but it is very creative and well executed if I may add. Keep up the good work!

Well... here's my two cents...:)
I'm not sure I like the composition. It's a little akward, and when I first opened the thumbnail, it took me a a sec to figure it out. Alright, it was just a second, but I think instant impact is more memorable, and the subject certainly has the potential to really impact. Also, the contrast doesn't look quite right. highlights that should be white are a muted gray, giving the image a sort of dull quality. However, the actual lighting set-up looks and works perfectly, and the subject - coins in place of eyes - is extremely intriguing and captivating. Very neat! :)

This is my pumpkin in the parking lot of my workplace after dark, the lighting is all done by my truck's headlights (I agree with the comments that don't like the lighting, it's something I need to work on in general) and the Kmart smokers next door thought I was crazy for smashing a pumpkin in the middle of a vacant parking lot at 9:30 at night. So, long story short, I guess the answer to your question is that it was night. :)

For me, the emotion is obvious but I don't see as much abstractedness as I was hoping for in the challenge.
