Hey. Nice shot, I like it and all, but I am confused how the inside of the actual pumpkin is black? Did you just burn it dark? or am I missing something which often is the case... haha.

I like the unique idea! Looks like a challenge to carve!!! The black part looks kinda weird though. Great Job!

The carving on this is great, so good points there. The procesing work on the inside f the pumpkin is distracting for me. I find it to be too harsh of a transition from the glow of the caving to the void of the black. JMO.

impressive carving! very original. i love the clear-cut lines. seems almost like a cartoon drawing.

Like the unique carving, unusual effect with the lighting and black background inside the pumpkin; would've liked just the pumpkin since the basket doesn't have the same edginess it just doesn't belong.

I like the idea but the photoshoped lines around the black interior throw off the believability. Reality may not have been the goal but I still find the edges too rough and thus distracting.

great carving but swapping in the black for what ought to be bright is a choice that hurts the image.

Wow! The best one of the day so far. The only thing taking away from it is the black, feels unnatural and prevents me from scoring this with a 10.

Oh wow, this is awesome. Did you design it yourself? I would have left the basket out of the picture - who wants to look at that when the pumpkin is so cool?
