This is definitely the most thought and preparation I have put into a shot on DPC (not to mention a lot of fun). I saw this little pumpkin we had leftover from Halloween and it hit me, Cinderella's Pumpkin Carriage. My wife is an artist and asked her if she thought she could transform the lowly pumpkin to a magnificent coach (she did a wonderful job!) Anyways, even if it doesn't score well, I really really like it, so enjoy!

Sweet sparkles, great eye candy. The background pines was a great idea.

I like the idea, maybe try shooting from a lower angle so it would seem more like a life like perspective instead of above like a small object that it is. May have seemed more realistic.

Creative idea. Kind of amusing that the wheels are rather warped; my hubby just peeked in and said it looks very Tim Burton ;-)
