 Had the mask and the ceramic pumpkin in stock, so to speak. Bought the real pumpkin, squash and corn at the Rittenhouse Square Farmer's Market in late September and finally got around to using it. Had two different set ups and went with the second.

Post: Convert from raw with a +0.33 exposure compensation in PSElements 3.0. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Crop. Spot edit...hmmm. well a spot on piece of the corn husk, some glare on the ceramic pumpkin, so burned and cloned areas in the ceramic pumpkin's eyes, nose and month as well as the eyes of the ceramic mask and dodged the leaf at bottom center. Sharpen. Layer of Curves adjustment. Resize. Sharpen.
