Pumpkins at the local farm

I took this picture at the local farm during a fall festival. I would appreciate any C&C. Thanks.

No offense, but these are some gnarly looking pumpkins. Everything looks dead and burnt. I don't think the pic is necessarily bad, but the subject leaves much to be desired.

Add on - Not all the pumpins look bad, just the big one up front. Also, the hay and the dead corn stalks are washing everything out in that tan color. The sky looks nice and blue and I can see an inkling of autumn leaves in the bg, which is nice. I think getting more of that in the pic would have helped it color wise.

Thanks for the comments.

I think the arrangement of pumpkins, as well as the framing of the shot, is too loose.

Pack them closer together, and get in tighter.

Overall it is ok. The one pumpkin is a little narly. I have a few suggestions. I would have composed it a little differently. The green gourd could have been the lead in to the photo. " lower left corner". If you used your 70 to 200 at F4, I think the background would have nee less distracting. The flash is giving the pumpin a hot spot. Maybe settiing it to a -2 or 03 to add just a little fill.
Have fun!!!!!
Gotta love that 70 to 200 L :)
