Our next door neighbour has a beautiful garden and our own really pales in comparison. We can only spy on their garden through the picket fence and feel extremely jealous.

I think this would be improved if the depth of field were better. If the flowers inside were in focus too I would really like the contrast of the stone and flowers.
Hmm. I kinda like your idea, but I'm not sure whether or not it succeeded. A couple reasons. First, the topical angle -- not only is the thing we're directly looking towards flowers, but we're obviously outside, not in, the garden. I haven't been quite as strict about the latter as I could have been but does make the topical connection looser for me. Second... I think reversing the focus would've made more sense -- the sharp focus on the thing we're supposed to be looking toward, not the barrier. On the other hand, the focus on the barrier may be part of your statement. If so, I have to say I would've liked to have seen more of the barrier -- a shot from further away, basically.
