Just when I thought I'd see another shovel or hands in soil, you surprise me with this shot. Amazing PP. I'm getting lost in it and I like it. DMC. (Does Meet Challenge) but others may crucify you as they will say it's not your garden. I don't think the challenge specifies this.
Great image, PP, DOF, crispness on the thorns. Good Luck.

Lovely "abstract". Nice subject. Some may say it DNMC however I think it's a great image and is certainly no less DNMC than some other real shockers in this challenge. I like the perspective, colours, BG and DOF control. 7

Great image. DMC. (Does Meet Challenge), all the elements of thoughtful composition, trees framing park bench, mist giving the foreground depth and punch. Nicely shot.

Nice perspective. DMC. (Does Meet Challenge) but that fence and the buildings partially visible at the top hurt this shot.

Nice subject. DMC. (Does Meet Challenge) in shoehorn sort of way :) Nice PP, interesting perspective.

Nice subject. DMC. (Does Meet Challenge). Great backlighting in the wings. Great BG and colourful appealing flowers. Perfect focus on butterfly.

Garden Fowl

DMC. (Does Meet Challenge) however I think a bit pale, would prefer a tad more contrast and a lower left crop to see more of the cycle/box it's sitting on.

DMC. (Does Meet Challenge) but a lot of distractions in the background. Focus is off all but the very closest wheat-grass bottom left.

Rock On

Nice subject and comp and textures. DMC. (Does Meet Challenge) could be your rear garden wall. Focus seems off overall and slight angled perspective is a bit fatiguing to my eye.

Nice subject on the bamboo wind chimes. DMC. (Does Meet Challenge) however I think the BG red and white detracts horribly. A black card or cloth would have made this a stunning shot with nice close-up on algae and water and aged bamboo texture.
