Mono Monday: Week 458 ...

... Hallowe'en.

When I was out the other day I passed a house that was so decorated for Hallowe'en that I simply had to go back today for Mono Monday.  The problem was that even with my smartphone camera I couldn't get the whole house in one shot.  I did a pano with the smartphone but didn't really like it.

And then ... as I was sitting out in the back yard photographing (or trying to!) the squirrels or chipmunks by the Hallowe'en prop I put out I spied a very tiny tomato still on the vine.  To me it looked so much like a pumpkin that I took a few shots of it.  And then Photoshop took over from there!  I think this tiny tomato makes an adorable jack o'lantern ... don't you?!? I've converted the picture to a dark sepia as that's the closest thing to orange that I could find ... without converting to a duo or tritone... and still keeping it mono!

Thanks to Vicki and Andrew for co-hosting Mono Monday all this month.  Happy Hallowe'en!  

Oops! I almost forgot to add the Extra photo!  Every year I like to paint a pumpkin ... somethings multiples ... but this year I ran out of time.  Although I did paint the tiny one a few days ago.  The large pumpkin was decorated with some felt cut-outs that we must of bought last year ... we recently found them whilst looking for something else! Richard was the guest photographer.
