This is another one of my attempts at showing the rapid growth in the farming community of Tracy, Ca. There will be no Fields in this area in the next two years.

Shew, I bet it feels like forever. At first, I thought maybe the strawberries should have been more prominent, but after looking again, I like the feeling of "smallness" this portrays. Definitely not a job I would want!
I like this photo. I almost hesitate to say this, but my focus is drawn more to the person than the strawberries. Would think this meets the challenge better if cropped just to the left of the person and incorporating the rule of thirds. Just my opinion - still a good score:)
I'm torn. On the one hand, for the sake of the contrast of the complementary colours, I might say "move the focus in on the berries a bit more!" On the other hand, you'd need a new title and that was kinda funny. :)
In my opinion, I think this picutre would have been more effective for the challenge had it been shot closer onto the strawberries. My eyes immediately went to the woman and her interesting array of clothing. From baby Mickey Mouse to plaid to paisley...LOL Sorry, but the complementry colors (red & green) of the strawberries and field are lost and forgotten. I do like the photo as a whole, though. Although hazy, the neighborhood with the mountains in the background provide a nice backdrop to the strawberry field. 7
I see the greens, I see the red strawberries, but I also see a lot of other stuff that doesn't really enhance the picture. Perhaps a different position or getting closer could have changed things around and brought more focus on the point of the picture ?
