I really like how you chose a low angle on the dead tree. The tree gives the viewer a sense of fear as though it is going to come to life and kill you. The orange in the pumpkin and the green in the surrounding trees gives a sort of contrast that isn't seen very often and makes you cringe, well maybe not you but I shivered when I first saw this. Keep up the great work Kyle.

This is an intriguing picture. The color contrast between the orange pumpkin and the dark, shadowy tree draw your eyes right to the center. The photo has an eerie feel to it, the low angle makes it look like the tree is towering over the viewer and the pumpkin. It almost reminds me of Sleepy Hollow.

The low angle of the leafless tree makes it look towering and scary, but then you see the bright orange pumpkin as your eye follows the darkened branches down. The pumpkin really pops because of the lighting and because it is a bright color in a dark picture. This makes you feel less scared and lightens the mood of the picture. It's the perfect Halloween picture.

I love it. My eye was drawn to the oumkin, then to the tree. The low angle makes the tree seem biiger and more old, and awe inspiring. And the contrast is really great as well. A great picture for Halloween.
