good idea, in fact, i was toying with doing something similar, but ran out of time. i think i would've preferred it if you had cropped in closer on the pencils, all the dry and green grass takes up a lot of the photo and isn't so visually appealing to me. the watering can and the 'picked' pencils are a nice touch though. -- gr8photos (4)
Might work better if the pencils looked like they were actually IN the ground (as if they'd been planted) without the visible trench. It looks like the pencils were just shoved into the ground, which I know they were, but it looks too staged.
Monday night, at midnight, this was the first photo that popped up in my list. I laughed my butt off. Thanks for that. This is a great photo. The angle and focus are great and the lighting is simply perfect. I don't see a shadow in the picture at all. I have to wonder though if you got the seeds from the photographer of "how does your garden grow". This challenge has been a riot. Thanks again for adding to the humor and doing such a nice job of it. Good luck in the challenge.
Composition - good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality – good Other suggestions – a tighter cropping would have helped a lot
I was surprised at the number of garden pencils we got this week. I like your additions of the water bucket and "spare plants", very funny. I could have wished you had weeded a bit more.....(joke) and (just because other's thought of a similar idea, don't put up with any cliche comments...good job!) 8 Swash
