Detail of a Carved Pumpkin

Detail of a Carved Pumpkin
Detail of a pumpkin carved by Master Carver Ray Villafane at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)—October 25, 2014. Ray Villafane is a Master Carver of pumpkins. He is a repeat winner of the Food Network’s “Challenge: Outrageous Pumpkins.” He is also a competitive sand sculptor, and has designed action figures and collectible statues for DC Comics, Marvel, Sony, and Sideshow Collectibles.

A description of Halloween at the New York Botanical Garden and additional photos can be found in my article, which is posted here.
