Comment by jerika:
Thanks for the comments. I would have loved to include more of the wheel and the box, but there were several plants just out of this shot that were obstructing my view of them. As it wasn't my garden, I wasn't exactly in a position to move the ornament or replant anything, lol.

I kept the picture intentionally dark, as my first impression of the ornament was a fanciful notion of it coming to life at twilight and doing garden work on the sly. I agree that the beak needed to stand out more, but I couldn't arrive at an edit I liked that brought out the beak while staying true to the other colours and elements.

It would be much much better if taken in better light, natural or artificial. Or may be a different edit, to bring out dark parts, especially the beak. Other than that, it's quite cute :-)

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.

Awesome contrast using a Triad color harmony of yellow/orange, red/violet and green/blue. I only wish it was a little brighter and maybe you came back and showed a little more of the wheel section. 7
