I gave it an eight. Thanks for not doing it in color.

I like this a lot. A very original still life.

This is a fun find. However the black/white treatment does it no justice. For me I want to see the bright and fading oranges of the pumpkins. Because we could look at this and not all identify they are pumpkins. If there was colour here and less noise I think this could be a funner image. But overall does not really have a lot of interest.

This would have looked very good in color

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: I really do think this a scene worthy of capture, I also like where you have placed the intersecting straight lines....

Critical stuff: This comes across as a low quality image - I'm a fan of grain and of the use of blur but here there seems to be be little artistic intent; that is a little strange because the scene and the composition has it by the bucket load. I either feel cheated or taunted. I get the feeling that you could've made much more of this image but you have deliberately decided to withhold any beauty at all.

Overall: A frustrating image for me - if that was your intention, to communicate something that was devoid of beauty (spent perhaps?) then you have succeeded. I feel a little played - perhaps that's a good thing.
