Cool shot! If I may make a suggestion (and correct me if I'm wrong here, but) it appears that you are just converting the image to grayscale in Photoshop or something similar. Instead, take it a step further. Convert to grayscale, then go in Duotone mode and choose black and dark brown as the 2 colors for your duotone. This way your black & white portion of the image will be more true to a real black & white image. Your image after that will be pretty dark, so do some brightness & contrast adjustments and you'll be set. Let me know what you think :) #27262

Thanks for the comments.
Dave I will try your suggestion, I have never worked with duotone. I did correct this one in a different way. Does it look any better?
I lowered the saturation, and selectively changed some of the pumpkins to different shades. #27266

Yes it does look better that way. I toyed around with it in the duotone setting here so you could see the differences between grayscale and duotone. #27269

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
