Good ol' lovely weeds! If you were in my backyard you'd have to call this From Death Unto Life Unto Death Unto Life Life Life... I think we have more dandelions than grass! Nice idea for this challenge. Using a pic for the background is a really cool idea but I think I agree with those below that mention that it seems busy - but it's hard to say without seeing what a solid color would look like. Oops forgot - I voted 7.
Nice classic progression. The background and border don't really fit in I think though. It would add to the simplicity and accentuate the focus on the photograph if the borders were just one solid color.
