I don't understand it but this one actually looked better and clearer as a thumbnail. I liked it as a thumbnail but don't bull size. It is not nearly as clear and easy to see the cat . I can tell some time and effort went into setting this up. But I can't give it more than a 5 and that is based on the thumbnail.
The top and bottom of the picture distract from the neat carved image.A tighter top and bottom crop would really help.Otherwise---really nice carve job!!!!
Only thing that may have helped keep the focus on the pumpkin is to have a solid background. The bricks and other background object distract the viewer. Focus is a little fuzzy around the cat. Good use of lighting.
