Yeah, that's some fire!! Did u make barbeque afterwards?

if you stuck a steak on there, it would have been charcoal in seconds... it was so darn hot, that I had to run in and out taking pics

I bet it was. Nice shot.

Congrats, nice shot

Congrats for your third place, Megan!

congrats!

Nice in HR, could have used a little more DOF

Friiskiwi, your constructive criticism isn’t very constructive. If you are going to make a suggesting then please tell me what you mean. I could be new and would have no idea what HR or DOF means. Overall, I feel you are just giving me an opinion, because in my opinion it’s perfect. The background is out of focus (OOF) because I used a macro on the front pumpkin to give it the main focus. People are here to learn how to improve their game. Why don’t you try to remember that.

wonderful composition on this, i really like it, good job

That's a really big compliment comming from you itsmymoment. Thanks.

Nicely composed shot although perhaps just a little too cropped at the back. The colours are great and it's certainly on theme.

There was someone in the back and it was really distracting. I just wanted to focus on the main pumpkin.

lovely makes me want one

Nice !

beautiful shot.

wonderful set-up, lovely shot.

Very well composed and looks good enough to eat! Well done.

Thank you guys for nice comments. Anyone in the mood for apricots please feel free and help yourself.
