Ha!! This is freakin' hilarious!! I wasn't a member during this challenge so this is my first view of the monster gourd. It's a masterpiece. I would have voted an 8 for making me laugh so hard.

Hehe :) good humour. Still seems you made border after croping so few main parts of picture are cutted now. Well and few things at bacground are distracting too. But ligh of fire is real nice.

I like it, but there's too many distracting things in the background: the pasta house, the electric outlet, the black vent(?), etc.

That electric plug is glaringly distracting. This looks crazy (in a good way) But everything in the background is distracting.

Composition is good. The effect is there! I would have given a 10 if it didn't have the plug on the left side and there's not the shadow on the small pasta house..

If you had blocked out the background (the outlet, pasta thingie, white counter) and centered this, and pulled back a bit so it's not so crooked, this coulda been great! I like the idea...and that gourd is crayzee!

That would be so awesome if the background was less distracting. A plain black or white background would work wonderfully.

the crop seems too tight on the top and it seems tilted left to me
I might have tried a more shallow dof to blur some of the details in the bg

I think its a funny idea. Well done. The frame however interferes with the main object in the photo. I bet there will be lots of left overs. :)

I love this idea. The background seems a bit distracting and the crop could have been a hair wider to get the top of the gourd and the side of the pan.

Overall well done imo
