not a bad subject. background is cluttered and distracting. a shallower dof might have helped. - 4

A fire hydrant dressed to impress :) Red and green are natural complimentary colours and you have made good use of them in this photograph. The only thing I can think of to suggest is maybe moving the twig at the bottom of the pic and setting up a matboard behind the hydrant to block out the tree and bush. Other than that, I have only to say good luck! Very creative shot! NVJC.

Nice composition. I might have cropped just a little closer to remove the less than exciting background.
