What a neat idea. Of course I'm a HomestarRunner fan so the first thing that came to my mind was secret eating:

This is truly (really truly) one of the most wonderful photographs I have ever seen. I love the composition, the fabulous sky and those sweet little pumpkins in their cosy little patch. Is this one available in print?
Posted by Edwinek on October 6, 2008 2:32 AMLooks beautiful and very secluded, I like the vertical composition that draws your eye up the piece...
Looks alot nicer/peaceful than the Bath I know here in the UK!
Posted by James Wade on October 6, 2008 4:48 AMI really like the way this pumpkin patch is framed by the corn...great fall image.
Posted by Bob on October 6, 2008 6:50 AMEvery element is perfectly placed in the frame. It's as if it was just waiting for you to come along and photograph it.
Posted by Laurie on October 6, 2008 8:57 AMVery nice !

Another beauty.
We all know that clouds perform for you. Look at
those shaped like two heads(?) with eyes, waiting
to reach each other and kiss.
It certainly is a very sincere-looking pumpkin patch! ;)

Posted by David Tinnon on October 6, 2008 2:38 PMTassles pointing skyward, standing ear to ear,
Corn ready for harvest, it's been a good year.
Ready for choosing the golden globes of the season,
They might become a carved face or a pie that is pleasin'.
White cotton candy clouds in the blue sky above,
Complete this picture of fall. It's one that I love.
Love the symmetrical framing..and the secret you've uncovered. Excellent!
Posted by Marcie on October 6, 2008 5:31 PMReally captures the whole 'pumpkin patch' idea to a tee. And all of that wonderful blue sky adds so much drama.....great shot.
Posted by Mike Blanchard on October 6, 2008 8:07 PMFantastic surreal feeling! Pumpkin hideout! Great work.
Posted by Tero on October 7, 2008 1:11 AMLovely shot. The sky looks amazing. Although I find it really creepy these patches in the middle of cornfields. Why have it in the middle? Why a secret?
Posted by Zain on October 7, 2008 5:33 AMSurprising. I can't understand why to hide the pumpkins... Usually the marijuana fields are hidden this way....
Nice picture !

PS: congrats on DTown mag :) looks like we will be in the same issue. Can't wait to see which picture of yours will be published.
Happy Autumn!!!

Under an azure sky, filled with fanciful shapes, the Orange Warriors of the Pumpkin Platoons contemplated their fate. Boxed in and out flanked, they remembered the lessons of their Academy professors. The Charge of the Light Brigade, Waterloo, Custer, the Alamo, the 300,.......would this day bring The Pumpkins Last Stand? Or can they successfully play the right angles in this crop circle and live to fight again?
Posted by david tinnon on October 10, 2008 12:58 PMWonderful photo, I like the sky and these colours.
Posted by Wolfgang Burzler on October 10, 2008 3:14 PMNice Kathleen, good composition and eye. Have you ever experimented with Tone Mapping?
very nicely composed very well thought out and you took advantage of the colour of the sky well done!
Posted by Philip on October 11, 2008 2:01 PMGreat shot! Excellent motive and composition! I really like your work!
Posted by Filip Wiberg Photography on October 11, 2008 2:20 PMhey Kathleen, that's a good one there. how did you locate this one?
Posted by Jeet on October 13, 2008 12:13 AMLooks as if pumpkins are drugs. Great colours.
Posted by oldshutterhand on October 14, 2008 4:29 AMEdwinek: I'll be printing again in mid-November so if you're interested, let me know what size you'd like.
Zain and Jeet: The pumpkins were hidden for children to find in a corn maze. You can read all about what a corn maze is here, and find one near you if you're in the U.S.:
Ruth Taylor: Congrats to you on the magazine... however, I turned them down! :) I wasn't happy with the contract.
flyfishertc: I probably should know what tone mapping is but I don't... so no, haha. What is it?
Posted by Kathleen on October 14, 2008 8:29 AMYou want to put us all together; you want us all to be the same. Same color, same size, same flavor. You want to smash us and bake us into the same pie. Sorry, despite your best efforts, the kids, both young and old, continue to carve out different faces and express their individual hopes and dreams.
Posted by Willow on October 21, 2008 10:17 PMA wonderful image. I like the division into two parts: the blue coudy sky and the farmland. Countryside scene at its best!
it's nice.................
