Tad,

 The image definitely shows promise its suffers, however,  from a common problem with 3d graphics, its to clean. I don't know how many pumpkins you've carved but I never get perfect cuts. I always overcut in some direction or another, and some dulled teeth points. If you know how to used layered shaders, I'd use one to add more green splotches and such to the pumpkin itself. Dirty things up and you'll be on your way to a more realistic render. I'd also consider adding some slight rust to the bolts in the table, a burnt out candle inside the pumpkin, and a browned and more frayed stem. I look forward to seeing your next version.
