 Visited friends and we had a pumpkin carving party. I carved a cat pumpkin. The others were carved by two artists, a CGI cinematographer, and a five year old little girl (with help with the carving part). Can you guess which is which? One of the carvers did two. I cropped and used dodging and burning to bring out the separate pumpkins and darken the background. I cloned out a bit of light from a second carving on the back side of one of the pumpkins and sharpened using unsharp mask.

Obviously, ou are the over-achiever among your gang! The winner, of course, is the no-brainer pumpkin in the center with the perfectly lit, star filtered candle in its mouth! (Of course, you took the picture, so that makes you better in the end!)

Nice use of the Star 8 filter here but I feel that the number of pumpkins ( 6 ) is not sitting too well perspectively as the large one top right makes it seem unbalanced. Awesome pumpkin carvings mind :0) Good Luck

The cat pumpkin in the lower right in and of itself would have looked best. The others take away from it.
