Waiting for Cinderella
by Sky

This pumpkin is a leftover from Halloween & it's so pretty that I don't have the heart to make a pumpkin pie out of it just yet. The photo was taken against black velvet. As to Kitty, she was 'dropped out' (abandoned by her 'owners') - so of course we took her in. Kitty was cloned onto the pumpkin. She always goes into a side-winding motion whenever it's time to take her photo.

Nifty! It would make a great Halloween image.

Really nice image - I love the low-key lighting!

Very dark and moody...a great halloween feel! The black cat is a fun touch, greatly increasing the perceived size of the pumpkin.

Denise - I provided a bit more information on this photo above. Although I was joking in my response to you, Kitty is definitely not a veggie head. I tend to make up stories surrounding my photos - as I live in LaLa Land half the time BUT I got to thinking eeek - my comment looks like I didn't use my own work. So I wanted to clarify - just in case!

Hee hee - thank you, Denise. I think that 'Kitty' is hoping that Cindy will bring a pocket full of mice along with her. Hopefully, Kitty is a vegetarian. I just love happy endings....

Great image, Sky!! That is either one big pumpkin fit for Cinderella or a very tiny cat. LOL!!! Most creative and nicely done.
