This Pumpkin looks indeed evil. He seem to have the fires of hell inside. Flames glowing in its eyes and nose. The flame escaping from its mouth threatens the ghost and the poor bats. He crunches already one of them between his sharp teeth. Your mixed media is expertly composed. The colors attractive. The dark background emphasizes the pumpkin and its victims remarkably. The still life is perfect composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

I know Halloween is meant to be scary, but I think your pumpkin bat snatcher is rather cute, even with sharp teeth and the long red tongue. I especially like the red glow you have added to its eyes, and also the ghost on the left.
The all black background is perfect for both the pumpkin and ghost to stand out in the excellent way. I also like a lot the limited color pallet where the yellow leaves offer a nice contrast to the orange pumpkin.
The photo is sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in the pumpkin, and the exposure is spot on.
It is nothing wrong with the composition either. The format and framing is perfect, and with the pumpkin off to the right, it is a very good balance in the composition. I think this is a great looking and well done mixed media Nancy, and I wish you luck with the contest.

LOL I knew someone would come along and say the pumpkin was cute! Thank you for all the wonderful compliments, Annie!!! A six star rating means so much coming from you! At first I thought I'd just put an ordinary glow in the eyes, but since he was suppose to be an evil pumpkin (though that didn't work for you...LOL) I curled the glow. This was definitely a fun creation! I'm glad you enjoyed and felt I did a good job! :o) :o) :o) Nancy

Bless you Annie!!!! I'm floating in cloud 9! :o)

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that manic looking, hungry pumpkin. Colours, textures and tones are good. Well created and good luck!

That IS scary,Nancy!
I've always been totally fascinated by the Chiropterids ( Bats ) and would feel bad to see any of these beautiful night flying mammals come to any harm! : )
That doesn't mean that I'm not enjoying your interesting Halloween presentation,my friend!
It's wonderfully Original and pleasingly Out of the Ordinary! : )

This is awesome and such a perfect entry for the contest! I can see the time and thought you have applied here, your notes are appreciated too, I see the scary pumpkin with barnacle teeth and that long tongue it uses to grab the bats ! I love the way the eyes glow red! The autumn leaves top off the pumpkins head in a lovely way , I see the ghost over on the left, it appears to be watching the pumpkin in action.
The black of night background is perfect for this Halloween scene.
Very well created and presented! Very best wishes to you in this contest!
