They absolutely did not nail the lighting. It looks like one diffused flash. No background light, no rim light, no fill light, not to mention the wrinkled sheet background and specks of imperfection on the ground. Even if the color was left alone this is nothing more than a “creative” (and I use that word loosely) snapshot with a dslr. No professional would have put such little thought or effort into something that they would display on their website.
This picture is nowhere near “adorable” or “awesome” – the child is completely without expression – except for maybe “what the hell am I doing in a stupid pumpkin?”

Yikes! What is this photog thinking?? This is embarrassing to me as a photographer!! Someone please try and explain this to me. :/

All this blue makes me blue. 🙁
great lighting
On another note, they nailed the lighting. So why ruin it with terrible selective coloring?
This is just awful

My 8 year old walked in while I was looking at this post. She summed it up quite well…”Mommy, why are those pumpkins blue?”
If an 8 year old can tell your photo sucks, you are doing it wrong!
dave
It’s the Blue Man Halloween…duh….
spike
Okay…maybe the baby is supposed to be Baby Hulk?
…and maaaybeee the pumpkins are meant to look like those violet plastic jack-o-lantern candy carriers I keep seeing in stores of late?
On second thought, maybe the photog shouldn’t have smoked that last bowl.
lala
Blue is the new red
