 The once the pumpkin is cracked open, it begins to decay. The seeds pop out. The seeds are planted, and the life cycle of a new pumpkin begins.

Woefully WOEFULLY underappreciated. Exceptional for the challenge, and a lovely sad and yet hopeful photograph in its own right.

Too bad on the score, this is a quite original photo for the challenge. I think any time you get conflicting opinions in a challenge (good comp/bad comp) that means you are doing something right. Interest...it has more appeal than most macros you see out there. This is a photo for a different type of audience as far as scoring but the type of photo everyone should look at because there is more depth to it than most.

I think this is an excellent shot. the DOF, the sharpness, the subject. It's one of those quandaries as to why this didn't score better.

Nice shot for the challenge. My eyes are drawn right to the seeds! Technically perfect!

The lighting & texture on the seeds is good. Overall composition, though, isn't very interesting.

Technically I find this shot very good (but then I'm no expert so don't get excited). The shot meets the challenge but the subject just isn't very appealing though.

Nice composition. My eye is drawn from the upper left corner, on down to the seeds.
