Duck in a Pumpkin

My son-in-law carved this beautiful pumpkin to display at Halloween. The flickering candlelight inside created softened lines during the 25 second exposure time. The model duck was taken from a photo that I took at the lakeside where he lives. I'll post that at the Pacific Northwest site for those who might enjoy comparing the actual image with the carved one.

Hard to see that it's really a pumpkin. Do you have another shot showing where on the pumpkin this was carved - he's quite the craftsman!
