When I go out to take photos what usually gets my attention are textures. Even a flat surface almost always has some texture to it. Look at a wall or even a sidewalk, flat but texture. When you start looking at something like a pumpkin, we often think of them as being smooth but actually they have an amazing amount of texture. From the creases that form that unique shape to the skin of the pumpkin riddled with imperfections that make pumpkins perfect for photos.
