These are really cool Jim. I love the variety of shapes and colors with a similar overall theme. Your DOF is perfect for this too.

Cool shapes, colors and arrangement. I would consider a 180 degree flip and burning down the bright yellow gourd along the top. Nicely seen and well executed.

This most definitely POPs, Jim. Love the colors and your arrangement. A bit of burning-in of the gourd at the top would be good.

What a wonderful shot, Jim. I love the colors, shapes and texture in this. I agree with Mark, maybe a little burning on that top gourd.
