Yet another "why do I do this to myself?" entry. I don't know why, honestly....
Farmer's market in Goleta on a Sunday morning.
Post:
Oooh! Held the 5.0! Yay me!
Challenge description: "Simple enough -- compose a photograph somehow related to the garden. Here's the catch... the main subject of your photograph may NOT be a flower."
I'm gonna wager that this is indeed related to the garden, and not a flower. Is it the blur?
Maybe different veggies??

Well, I never 'get' how voters vote, and have taken several longer breaks from challenges.
But I like all the 3 shots, maybe the alternative green one best for the diagonal green/darkish divide.
In the left alternative photo the lensbaby blur works better than in this one.
No way - I expected this one to finish much higher. I wonder if you were dinged by the discrepancy between the challenge title and the description, which clearly stated that the photo should be of something related to the garden.
Hooray for the lensbaby!! I like this shot. Good use of selective focus however it could have been right on the hand. It is somewhat above the hand which is still ok because the focus is nice and sharp. Very good pp of color with the orange.
