I would like to point out that the bottom pumpkin is not even carved. I saved it and looked at it in Photoshop and its a fake all the way. Just take a look and you will see the tell tale signs of a photoshop job!

yea, i gotta agree - i'm a graphic designer, and that surely is a photoshop mock-up. He even got the perspective wrong.

Agreed entirely with #2 and #3. That is not in any way a real jack-o-lantern. It's a mediocre photoshop job.

I have my suspicions about the second pumpkin, too, but I'm fairly sure it's real. And even if it's not, it's still the best pumpkin on the page, real or fake.

What, no "Red Ring of Death" Entries? That would make a scarier jack-o-lantern than any of the others...

And the last entry is totally photoshopped.

Last is a fake - look how perfect the text is. Second could be fake too.

47-o is simply amazing, it looks so 3D.

The 2nd is definitely NOT a fake. Check this link:

If you'd have read his blog in the past, you'd realize is a quite the artist. For example, he painted a great mural on his son's wall:

Don't knock great art simply because you don't have the talent to do it. That being said, the last is a fake. Anyone with some photoshop skills can see it.

M3mnoch's is definitely real. He sent in more than one pic including one in broad daylight. Sorry that fake got by me. I disqualified some other photoshop jobs but was dead tired by the time I posted that last pumpkin.

Also,

I think the 47-o-lantern is real, but I'm digging into it just to be sure.

Geez, our first pumpkin carving contest, and we already have cheaters. Isn't it amazing?

Yup, the 47-O-Lantern is the real deal. Just got some photos from the artist. You can now vote with confidence :)

Hey this is Miktroy, creator of the Photoshopped entry. I'd just like to apologize to everyone. I sincerely was not trying to dupe anyone. I made the mistake of skimming the contest rules and assuming that Photoshopping was allowed (based on Aeropause's last contest). I am sorry everyone. I never meant to cause all of this controversy.

PS- click my name if you want to see 'normal lighting' photos of the pumpkin.

Unless that's against the rules.

In which case, dont click my name.

or something.
