Excellent composition. A little overexposed on the hands. A little cleaner on the lines around the leaves and I would have given it a 10. As it is, 9.

The image conveys the message well, though a touch soft in parts - this is not a subject that merits shallow DOF, in my mind. Do like the warm tones in the hands and earth and the selective desat to focus on the clover.

Nice. Might have been even better if you guys weren't transplanting a clover plant. ;-). Seriously, a really good shot and who cares what you're planting, right? I like the color treatment here.

Thanks Anton, can't deny I am disappointed with the result, it started with 7.3 and kept going down. One of the photographers I respect said, if you want to make something interesting, don't light it all. This is what was in my mind, beside .. I didn't think nightmares usually very clear and well lit :)
Thanks for your kind comment Anton, appreciated.
