This old terracotta flower pot has been positioned next to a little wood bridge and a couple mountain rocks we brought back from vacation several years ago for probably at least a year. While the objects are rather mundane, I thought they looked neat and 'artsy' with the growth of algae on them.

very nice exposure but the colors might have been bumped up a bit. the rock and the grass and other vegetation along with the reddish rail provide nice texture contrasts but it all still looks pretty mundane to me.

This doesn't really meet the extraordinary requirement on the challenge.

Interesting shot, nice composition, though the subject itself doesn't stand out.

Technically you've done a good job with this shot. The greens are good. It falls short in the composition. We really don't see much of the clay pot and the white rock is the most dominate object seen. The red post is old and faded as only serves to cut the picture in half. Does that sound harsh? I hope not, just my feeling.

um - you got the mundane part but didn't do a very good job of making it interesting. all your leading lines lead right out of the picture frame and that makes the viewer think "next photo" without coming back for a second glance.

Nice shot, but wouldn't really class as extraordinary

What this lacks to my mind, is a moment of light. The illumination across the scene is absolutely even, very little graduation of shade anywhere: that leaves you without much evidence of texture to work with in your shot, and thus a mundane scene produces a mundane photograph. Compositionally the wooden thing really removes the eye from your subjects - without that the shaping of elements within the shot would be fine.
