Attack of the Pumpkin Head Man
Done for Macro Monday's Halloween theme: Spooky and Frightful
It's a small decorative Halloween character that is actually smiling and waving. So in an effort to make it look scary, I taped a small piece of pointed metal into the hand to look like a knife, and photographed it using a small amount of focus blur technique (sliding the focus back and forth during exposure), then darkened things up in post processing!
HMM and Happy Halloween, everyone!
Addendum: At the request of PhotosToArtByMike, I have added an image of the original character without blur and the "knife" in the first comments box.
