No truck, shot taken in the evening or early morning (side lighting) and a clothing in greens yellows or greys (basically subdued) would have done the magic.
The composition is nice...
Most of these types of magazine covers feature over-saturated colors -- I'd try and tweak this one a little. Of course, could also be my monitor or eyes!
The different gardening tools fits the magazine well I think. The car while it provides some contrast to an otherwise almost greenish picture is a little distracting I think.
I like the colors and equipment in this shot, very appropriate for your magazine. I have to say though, that I was a bit distracted by the brownish leaves (dying tree perhaps) in the background above the shoulder. Otherwise, nice shot.
