Here's Your DPChallenge Critique Club Feedback As Requested! :D
Alright, lets see, first thing I notice when I look at the photo, has got to be the odd, distracting tones on the blade of the spade. It detracts from the interesting-ness of the subject and overall detracts from the image. In addition to that, the border doesn't match the photo at all and just makes you want to look away. The photo itself, is good in composition. I would rather the shadow did not fall on the spades handle but that's a minor detail. First thing, loose the border. I try to keep all my borders either black, white, or a black transparency. (as used in this image of mine) try one of those, but the brown just doesn't do it for me, or the DPC voters. Editing has created the distracting tones on the handle as well has taken away the images clarity, sharpness and overall quality. The post-processing is the biggest bungle in this image. And second to that would be interesting-ness, spade in the dirt near a plant isn't going to cut it generally for a challenge titled "In The Garden" obvious isn't always better. Anyway, overall, acceptable work, just lay-off on the pp a bit and don't make a border that will detract from the photo.
