The charm of this planter is its rust, its handles, its neck, and its ageless shape.
Hand held photo near ground level. Learned since how to invert tripod to accomplish f32 photo but the wind has been howling ever since I learned. So this is it for this challenge.
Post Processing: One step picture correct in Adobe Photo Album, crop, and resize.

You could have cropped even tighter - I'd say right below the handle. The green leaves form an amazing frame. You can then have a choice of whether to focus on the can, or on the leaves, and nobody will complain. In this picture, everybody knew what your subject was (can) and commented on its focus. In a more tightly cropped pic, it wouldn't matter as much anymore, since it wouldn't be so big. Good job.

I really like your idea here and do enjoy this photo. MO is that it is just a bit soft. Perhaps focus is on the grass at the bottom in the foreground and not on the subject? Either way I still like this. Meets that challenge very well. Good luck with the challenge!!!

I would have scored this higher if your focus had been on the vessel. As I see it, your focus is sharpest on the forground grass. A little shallower DOF with focus on the milk can would have been much better IMHO.
