Denise,
Quite all right as far as I'm concerned - I often wish I could see both final and SOOC versions. You've let us see what a difference a few subtle tweaks can make.

I like the placement in frame, soft but textured BG, and the degree of sharpness on the "lantern".

Sure does look like a pumpkin. If you mask just the leaf and adjust the hue in the yellow channel you can make it pumpkin-colored too.;)

Cool !Thanks Chris I always love to hear from you . You are full of knowledge

Interesting image I like the lighting and the comp, well done.

[Julie Kenward]

Nicely done except I'd clone out the two small green spots in the BG. The rest is very nice!

Hey Denise, I really like the comp, and the BG looks really interesting. Nobody else has mentioned it yet but on my screen the edges of the leaf on the right and left side look hot. But as said, nobody has mentioned it so it may just be my monitor.
