I really like this post, and I would think that this was really hard to capture. Congratulations for winning the photo contest! I was wondering if it was a coincidence that they got into that bowl, or if you happened to leave it out and the raccoons went through it.

    Thank you so very much; I had set the bowl out on purpose,putting grapes in it. The day before I was able to photograph Rikki taking grapes out of the bowl, the following night both her kits, Bashful and Bandit came with her, but Bashful was a bit camera shy and didn?t want to participate-lol!

I am so happy you won the contest with this adorable image! I had reviewed it right when you posted it but apparently it didn't go through. The timing was perfect! The two raccoons are positioned perfectly and look at the adorable poses both have a paw in the pumpkin !
Well photographed with spot on focus, this image is sharp and clear and your exposure is perfect. Colors and tones appear true and natural. This should be in a magazine. I love it ! Congratulations on your well deserved win!

They totally look like they are saying,"Look what I'm doing. You can't stop me." Hilarious. Great capture. This could go on the front of a Halloween card for sure.

Hi LeeAnn, I like you two trick or treaters! LOL They definitely look like they are enjoying themselves. This is a great out of the box image that is not something you'd expect to see. I not only like your trick or treaters, I like your Jack o' lantern container as well. This is totally fun and well taken! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

These two raccoons look a little upset in regards to getting their treats lol. Your composition shades tones and angle captures the mood perfectly. Thank you for sharing

    Thank you very much, Brian, I had something different in mind for the contest, but ran out of time before I could set it up. Thanks for awarding this an extra star!

Lee Anne,
A beautiful & amusing picture of the two Raccoon Rikki & Bandit stealing grapes from the pottery orange Pumpkin on you deck. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
