Greetings from the Critique Club!

I can see that you put some thought into the composition of the tools here, the angle of the lopping shears helps lead the eye through the planting pots to the gloves. I think more dof would have helped so the strident colour of the out-of-focus shears wouldn't compete so much with the much more detailed and in-focus, but subdued in colour, gloves. They're fighting each other and I suspect that is why this placed where it did.

Personally I think that the vibrant purples in the foreground overwhelm the subdued red handle of another tool in the background. Lighting looks to be ambient, my one main issue is that there seems to be a heavy hit with the saturation slider to make those shear handles pop. If so it may have been better to go the other way and fade them out slightly to match the gloves a bit more.

Hope this has been of help, feel free to PM me with any questions.

Susan

Lovely harmony with colours. Don't think it required a filter. The colour would have popped out more without it.

Nice set-up, but I am bothered b the fact that the only thing that seems to be fully in focus is the gloves.
