Just canned our pumpkin from the garden. First time pressure canning. Does this look.. right? Why are some floating and others are sitting at the bottom?
I thought for sure I messed this up somehow, but all the lids are sealed. I appreciate all input!

Looks good! What recipe did you follow?
Siphoning is normal, as long as the water reaches at least halfway up the jar it’s okay.

As long as you filled to the proper headspace at first, it just looks like you’ve had a little siphoning. The ones that aren’t floating had more siphoning. I’d use up the ones that have lower liquid levels first, because they’ll have some discoloration over time. But as long as you used a tested recipe, these look fine to me.

I have been given the impression that canning pumpkin is a no no. Stay safe
