I'll start this off by saying: I'm not much of a still life fan.

I gave this on a 7. I thought your lighting was very good -- I like the more contrasty still lifes, and this one falls into that category. The watering can is wonderful. I like the highlights and the details on the handles & spout. The rest of the shot doesn't interesting me as much. The rest of the tools are appropriate, but not very visually interesting.

The one thing I'm not crazy about is the round table. I find the front of the table distracting, it catches the eye, but I don't think it adds to the picture. (small nit -- it wouldn't change my voting.)

The watering can was so wonderful, that if you had done something simpler with the can and maybe one or two antique interesting gardening items, it would have been an 8 or 9.

The pear is actually quite cool for a subject, but the backdrop on which it's sitting, is very distracting that I think it hurts the picture. 5
