Description
This urban Halloween decoration was originally only the pumpkin on the steps, but I thought the cat would add additional interest. The image was taken near Federal Hill in the elite section of condos, fondly referred to as "Concrete Canyon".
The pumpkin, which was a perfect shape and size, as a decoration by itself was simplistic but attractive next to the white railing. I thought the addition of a cat would give more holiday mood to the composition. The cat was actually captured in 2014 on a porch next to discarded carved pumpkins 11 days after Halloween in Easton, Maryland.
The pumpkin is a member of the squash family, and, though it is treated like a vegetable, it is technically a fruit.

Spectacular! Love all the details, the lighting to create the mood, and the curves and lines of the steps and of course the cat and pumpkin! Perfection!

Fantastic composition and wonderful association here ! Pumpkins and cats, but this one is Black and White !! : )
Brian Wallace replied:
Thanks for the nice comment and fave Daniel. I actually found this cat in my frame as I was photographing old jacko-lanterns a year before. I digitally copied and added him to this newer image for enhancement.
