Editorial photograph of a small timber porch at blue hour in late October. Three carved pumpkins sit at different heights beside the steps; warm candlelight glows from inside each pumpkin and falls across fallen maple leaves.

Symmetrical eye-level view toward the table, brass lamp as the warm focal light, deep teal shadows, detailed wood and paper, more mysterious than frightening, no readable page text.
