Michelle,
I think this is another amazing capture. I love, love,love the light and how the setting sun plays with the colors of the pumpkins. I truely appreciate your choice of DOF. It would not be as striking to me if it would be all in focus.
Looking at this picture I can 'feel' the ground I am sitting on, while the last sun rays pass over my face ... this being said, Michelle, you did it again. This image to me shows that you can convey more than just the sum of visual elements ...
