This shot was really tough. Took me 3 hours from the carving, fitting, and painting of myself and then rearraging branches over me. Awar winning set up, but the only way the lights from inside the pumpkin could be acheived was through lightpainting. I had to have two of my friends help me, and of course since I wasnt doing it I was forced to be happy with whatever result occured from my direction to them to create this. Oh well!

Hmm... seems you need to stand further away from the background and use a more shallow depth of field, I can see all of the wrinkles and details. Also the lighting is really harsh and uneven.
That couldn't have been comfortable, the harsh shadow of your hand detracts from this for me. I like the addition of the vines and the lighting in the pumpkin head. Nice effort on this.
