I like the red strips with the green of the field, the tent on the right doesnt do anything for me so I might get rid of that. I'm not sure what processing has been done, but you've lost a lot of detail, oversharpening or noise reduction? resulting in Everything looks a bit smudged or plasticy. The colours are a bit off... but I kinda like it that way!
So I think you've a good eye, just have another crack at the processing. Hope it helps

i'm going to suggest the opposite of the others... i'm not really enthused about the pumpkins, their alien-glow isn't doing much for me. What I REALLY think stands out in this shot are the wooden crates in the background. I'd crop the top 1/3rd into its own shot.
The top 1/3rd has a nice subtle feel to it. The middle third is WAY too blurry and hurts my eyes (also, no detail, and unnatural colours). The bottom third has potential, but I think there is alot blown out here and the it looks like you neat-image'd them into a nubile enfancy (ie: their skin is a little TOO baby-soft). You've managed to blow out all of the detail which gives this picture "texture" and made it cold instead of the warmth one would imagine from pumpkins (and home-made pumpkin pie as their by-product).
keep the top 1/3rd, drop the rest.

Like they said. There are some major coloring issues here and the sharpness or general clarity of the image needs to be worked on.
The image is also too busy for my eyes but that's your choice. |

I'm honestly not too crazy about it.
Compositionally I don't like the tent, crates, and building in the background. They make the overall image too busy IMHO. The image composition would be better if the building "stuffs" were cropped out.
The image itself appears overprocessed, smudgy, blurry, something I can't quite put my finger on. It's just simply not very clear. I like the glow on the individual pumpkins, but the lack of clarity detracts too much. Did you use NeatImage?
I would like to see the original. I think there may be something to work with here. I like the use of complimentary colors (green and yellow/orange) in the pumpkin patch and feel like there is much more potential in this image. |

Wow...this is way oversharpened and the colors are off.
that being said ... if you loose the top 1/3 of the image it takes on a kind of surreal look
The border color was a bad selection IMHO

| I believe the contrast is way to hight, it looks stressed out and takes away from the pic itself. However the picture is very good... have you thought of cutting out all the tents and just showing the pumpkins? |

| It looks to me like you over-sharpened it. I'd get rid of the tents and building in the background. Their colors clash with the orange pumpkins -- at least to my eye. Also, the pumpkins look a tad on the green side, at least on my monitor. |
