White Pumpkins

I was driving in Illinois near Urbana-Champaign in fall 2005. I drove into this farm

and found a bunch of very colorful pumpkins. Without thinking much I took this

picture.

One month later, I read something in the news that astonished me. It was reported

that a farm in Rockford, IL had succeeded for the first time in growing white

pumpkins (note: normal pumpkins can be white when they are small, but they turn

orange when they become large), and it was a very hot item for Halloween. I believe

this farm where I took the picture was a branch of the farm in Rockford.

 

Thank you for viewing.

A composition with a splendid balance of masses and lights. I like it very much.

Very nice composition

Great composition and mix of colors. Well done! --George

I really like your composition. This is a very balance image, with great colors, great atmosphere and very well use of the subjects.... I really like it... Guillermo

Being from Indiana, this is a scene I'm familiar with......except for the white pumpkins, of course. Interesting story about them. This image works on many levels, and I love the way the pumpkins create a diagonal line toward the back of the image. Good colors and balance too. Bravo!

A nice view... but cropping which focuses on pumpkins would be better.. i.e crop upper part and keep left and right wider..(my opinion, of course).. welldone... congrats... OB

among your recent pictures i like this one particularly. excellent capture of the light and colors. great perspective. regards.
