Good collection colors congenial would have liked a tad more light, but don't know what you used as your light source. Pretty good. Good sharp and well focused.

Its a nice set up I'll grant you that. Shame about the white line at the back. to heighten the drame you need to play around lith yopur angle more, and keep the glare off the vegtables.

would've liked a warmer light than the flash, but then again, maybe you were some place where open flame isn't appropriate. did you do the arranging of the stuff?

Unfortunatly, the subject demands multilple sources, and softer ones too. Also, its on a shiny surface, which doesnt help.

this is a very nice still life setup... I have a couple ideas of how this shot could be more powerful :) 1) lower angle camera shot... In this image, it looks like you are looking down from above on your subject... 2) a light source other than the camera flash... lighting this shot from off center would probably create some nice shadows in the surface of the pumpkin. good shot :) - setzler

This shot has a lot of potential. Very nice arrangement. As far as shooting it...you needed to find a way to avoid showing the edges of the (whatever it is that you have it on). Putting it on a black fabric with a black bg would work nicely. Also, the lighting could be more dramatic - lit from one side maybe. I would also try a different angle/perspective. Maybe shooting from lower would help. You would probably not be able to see everything, but it would be more interesting which is what you want even if you have to leave some things out. ~indigo997

Great arrangement, would like to see more colour from the pumpkin

lighting just doesn't kick off anything and the center pumkin is grayish.

Should have gotten closer

It's a little flat, or maybe that's just the big pumpkin. I'd also get rid of the edges of table either by using a different surface or perhaps a tighter crop. 4 kathleenm

uninspiring to me. flat lighting. poor framing. 3

Like the composition but it is too dark.

I think this lighting is lacking the 'drama' that takes it to the next level. - Inspzil

Nice fall arrangement. The angle is abit off, though, perhaps shot a little lower and cropped so that the edges of the mirror weren't in the picture.
