Was Jonathan's pumpkin carved thru, in bas-relief, or painted,? It was most impressive. 
Oranges are hard to do, and the oil in the rinds are highly flammable. Well done Orange.
When I was in high school, I carved an apple Jack-O-Lantern using a small X-acto knife and I broke a birthday-cake candle in half and placed it inside. It worked. I don't have a digital camera so I didn't bother to do one for the P-T contest.

The link I provided above leads to a thread which explains how such detailed carvings are made, and also a picture of an equally impressive carving with a Farscape theme.

I liked Amarie's orange. That was the spookiest orange I have ever seen. I Don't think I will ever look at orange juice the same way ever again 
*blushes*
!!!????wow!-remains speachless-,.....wow.......the first thing I've ever won!....thanks....Stinker and Slinker are also grateful....
sorry for amarie and rednell works....I would be a hipocryt to say I'm not glad i won but i am also sorry.
And,to conclude my happiness,if taz agrees,for the next contest(whatever and whenever it'll be)I'll cooperate at the prizes with a romanian hardcover 'Hobbit' edition-I don't think you'll be able to read it(or who knows?)but I think it's still something for the collection.
Wow again!and thanks.......

oh,i forgot one thing......you'll get my data(adress and stuff)Taz-I think I was so hasty I forgot to send them along with the entry.....Again,thousands of thanks!!!!!
Congratulations to the winners! Jonathan, your pumpkin is truely a work of art. Raptor, I now have a true sense of Gollum and Smeagol, very creative.
Amarie, I, too, loved your orange. Evil looking eyes in that orange! I don't think I will be able to look at oranges on the grocery shelves without shuttering.
Thanks for your entries, you really made this a creative and fun competition.

Loved Raptor's Slinker/Stinker, and Amarie's Orange. Fantastic....
Well done all of you.
I'd give Orange's orange Jack-O-Lantern a special award for an idea whose
time had come; however, with no visible teeth, my mind imagined the northern
hemisphere hinging away from the southern revealing a wide mouth, filled
with long, sharp, needle-like teeth-scary!!!
I think there were some recent (within the last twenty years) movie monsters with this type dental hardware. Does anyone remenber it. Critters! maybe?

Yeah, Critters had the teeth you describe, in all the painfully bad sequels as well as the really quite funny original movie (and they shot their porcupiney spines at people as well).

Actually, I imagined Amarie's orange as one of the evil Nazgul. /me shutters
Hehe, yes Red I was trying to make a nazgul but it does resemble a critter, I can see that now! People like my orange! Hooray!! 
People like my orange! Hooray!! Oh Shucky Darn!!! That's twice this week. :elfembar:
Sorry Amari’. I don't know why I mis-attributed your monster to another, maybe I'm just colorblind, because everyone else knew it was Amari’'s Orange orange Jack-O-Lantern, not Orange's.
Anyway I still like it.

I am glad that I was not judging the compition. I would not have been able to choose. They were all very good, and I enjoyed seeing them. I would have sent them all prizes. lol.
Well done Jonathan very cool and well done pumpkin. Raptor, I am glad that you got to send in yours too. I loved it. lol Amarie, I went to the grocery store yesterday and saw the oranges, and thought of you. I will never see oranges the same way again. Nell, you are a very talented pumpkin carver. Do you make pumpkin pie a good as you carve? MMMMMMMM.
