It's the scanner. That's my punishment for getting a cheap one. I will try re-shooting in black and white and see what happens. It sounds like it could be interesting, and possibly better.

Thanks for the comment. I reshot recently from an angle more like you say, but it was in color and just didn't work. I do plan another reshoot, again in black and white. I'm getting there. By the way, the blue is the paper I used, it was cyanotype or "sun print" paper. Lots of fun to play with.

Leave it the way it is. It is just right.

Thank you for the comments. You're right about the balance. A simple crop would work here. The light I could do nothing about, I was pretty much on someone else's schedule (their car). Maybe some day I can get back there at the right time of day.

Weird. Those artifacts are not in the original print or the original scan. They only appeared after re-sizing. Pretty strange.

The original print does have a lot better detail (checked with a 8x loupe) and tonal range but my scanner needs work or replacement. The pumpkin is deliberately placed where it is, to fill in what was an empty space. I do know what you mean about the tree trunk on the left, it should have been cropped out.

You are right and I will remember that for next time. I hadn't even noticed how dark the bottom corner was until you mentioned it. The cropping was a problem... Tighter or looser framing, I just couldn't decide.

Thanks there. I thought about that bright spot but decided to leave it. No special reason, other than not wanting to do a lot of manipulation.
