Anna, that is one spectacular photo of a pumpkin! Excellent work.

Happy belated Thanksgiving to you. :)

What a tremendous picture -- I love the reflection of the pumpkin.

Wow! Is that the real color of the gourd? Plus you have such depth of field for an inside shot like that. But it does not look like it is lit with a flash? Did you grow it in your garden? I'll be back if I think of any other questions! ;-)

I'm aware of that but why are the dates different? :)

Anna: That is a beautiful reflective photo while thinking of Thanksgiving.

Absolutely agree, the pumpkin looks awesome on this photo of yours Anna and love the reflection and the lack of flash ;)

Anna, that incredible photo confirms what I have been noticing about photography. The masters see, and guide the rest of us to see, the extraordinary in our every day surroundings. One of your readers asked a question and I found the answer here: www.thelaboroflove.com/articles/why-is-thanksgiving-celebrated-on-a-different-date-in-canada

I love that shade of orange!

Marka November 15, 2009 11:37 AM  

Great composition & wonderful colors!

Hi! This image just blows me away. Such rich colours and the image effect is totally amazing!

Now, we don't have Thanksgiving, but I do give thanks for all my blogging friends, which includes you of course! Happy Thanksgiving!

Take Care,
Peter

Bring back the black and white world I lived in as a child.

Tabib November 17, 2009 7:26 PM  

Great still art work.
You have mastered the lighting technique that give this subject that 3D looks.
Congratulation!

Max Coutinho November 18, 2009 12:46 PM  

Hey Anna,

Yes, I did know it!

Now about this delightful picture: wow! It is gorgeous!! It makes me want to celebrate Thanksgiving and I am not even American LOL LOL... ;)

Thanks for this precious gift!
I hope all is well with you, darling!

Cheers

Oh! I love this beautiful little pumpkin. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. My son, my mom and I set to cooking early in the day. We have so much fun...and it smells so good.... I think we like the smells coming from the kitchen the most!

Lovely digital postcard Anna. Beautiful colors and the clarity of this shot is amazing. Like the symmetry here with the reflection, great job composing this image.

beanow November 20, 2009 8:59 AM  

Great photo of a pumpkin - brilliant work!

Susanne49 November 20, 2009 11:19 PM  

This is a perfect and spectacular shot, Anna!!!

roentarre November 21, 2009 7:19 AM  

Seriously wonderful image in deed. Good use of symmetry and the colour is incredibly rich

SWUBIRD November 21, 2009 12:23 PM  

Anna:

Wow! Now that's what I call a beautiful pumpkin. Great shot on your part too.

I don't especially look forward to Thanksgiving because several years ago something changed in my stomach and now I can't eat turkey. Imagine that, no turkey on Thanksgiving.

But I wish you a very happy turkey day, and may you have any things to be thankful for.

Happy trails.

Pearl Maple November 21, 2009 3:09 PM  

Thanksgiving is such a lovely concept, what can be any better than taking the time to appreciate all that is good in life. Really enjoyed your picture, enjoying the uncomplicated beauty that surrounds us - another great theme for Thanksgiving regardless of what day it is.

Zbyszek November 22, 2009 8:39 AM  

ŚMIESZNE ZDJĘCIE, POZDRAWIAM:)

Rajesh November 23, 2009 2:54 AM  

Very nice snap. Lovely reflections.

JB's Big and Small Worlds November 23, 2009 4:28 PM  

That gourd is beautiful and the reflection is great. We sure are having a hard time keeping up with blogging. Thanks again for stopping by still. We are glad you are still one of our first blogging friends!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
