This image was taken this past summer in Minnesota. It was a cloudy, dreary day.
But, this was such a cute little pumpkin (reminds me of pocket lint). I only wish the water
was more colorful, maybe next year :).

Thanks again for taking the time to look & Happy shooting!

Awesome photo karen. I wish there was a little more room around the bird.

Well done...An interesting capture to say the least.

Great light and shooting to you all!

Just a touch tight on the right, but cute as heck and a very unique pose

The fuzz, cuteness, and behavior carry this image to the top.

Well seen and taken!!

Hey Karen,

A great moment. You really caught this nicely .. my only nit, but it's a large one, is the catchlight .. it's pretty obtrusive here .. normally I don't mind too much about them, but this one really takes away from the image. I'd definitely adjust it in P/S,as you've got such a fantastic image otherwise.

It's interesting that it looks like the flash was vertical, in a horizontal frame -- at least that's how the catchlight makes it appear.

Cheers

Carl
