Another in the pumpkin patch series... 24-105mm lens @ 67mm, f/11@1/200. RAW image processed in LR; NIK Detail Extractor, Pro Contrast and Vignette added on separate layers with varying opacity. DAP->Realism, saved as a PSD file; back to CS6, added a layer of Fractalius and lowered the opacity on the layer. Gotta love fall :t3.

John, I'm loving your Pumpkin series! This is just my opinion but I would crop from the bottom and eliminate the small green gourd in the middle. I also would tone down the tan oval shape on the gourd on the left. But I still like it just the way it is. I think the DAP Realism added a nice touch:S3:

John...another great fall image.....love the processing,,,,You might consider toning down the top of the image seen through the wagon wheel. It just seems a bit too bright for me.

I love the scene and the lighting. I agree with Bob regarding the three posts being toned down a bit. I do wish that the left stem were a touch more in the scene. Excellent work with the filters!

A lovely fall image John! I love the colors and processing and agree with comments about toning down the posts at the top.

John, You do a great "pumpkin glow"! The oranges in your series have been dramatic and eye-catching. Good suggestions above for this image.

John, I like the way you toned down the background but the center of the wheel parts seem a bit toned down also. I like the way the wheel has nice lighting on the first version.

A pleasing image. I like the darkness of it. The processing creates lovely textures and designs which draw me into the image.
