ditto above
and your relief is not deep enough (contrast) on the pumpkin and I would make the base smaller on the shroom

I assume its your first try?
about 10 or 12 more and yo'll get the hang of it
I tried that a few years ago, kept making the same thing over and over about the 10th one and it started to look good, then lost interest (hunting season)

I'm not a carver by a long shot, but you need to practice more, not trying to be critical. I have sold mushrooms for money, people like a rounded top, like a toad stool mushroom. I had one that my wife really liked about two foot high, put it in the front yard along side a bench I did and some jerk stole the mushroom one night, so I know it was good 
Someone must make some dough at this carving stuff. Mrs Ax and I recently took a long weekend holiday up to Wisconsin, took a local state road north, at three different major intersections they were selling carved bears, same people because they were all the same basic design and a few other animals. Any way on the flip flop we stopped for a break before the home stretch at one of these intersections, she bought one of those bears for $80 bucks, told me I would have a sample to go by now. Hint Hint

Thats not bad for a start. How long did it take you to do that? I tried a little on an oak log with my sisters electric saw but the chain was dull and I gave up. Theres good money in that stuff if your halfway good at it. There was a pic of a carved eagle on this site that was pretty awesome. Anyway keep at it and you can carve whatever you want.

It took me about an hour for the pumpkin and 15 minutes for the shroom.
