This is my 1st post here on this forum.
I won 2nd place with this picture in my camera club. I don't want to toot my horn but I'm proud because I am new at photography.

I think what catches my eye for this is that one bright, orange pumpkin

Pretty good shot

This is a nice composition and play with colours. Very autumnlike, I am sure the jury appreciated that as much as the overall theme of pumpkins (assuming the competition was close to Halloween?).

I understand this is the photo just as it came off the camera? No tweaking the levels in Photoshop involved?
For there is more in this photo than meets the eye just now, I believe, and the colours could even be brought out more --- which would NOT be "cheating" or anything, believe me.
