Very nice, the tomatoes could have been a little redder maybe.

Do you need to dig down to get tomatoes ? :). Good image.

NIce composition and arrangment. I'm giving you a 9 with this proviso. I have never thought of picking tomatoes as a muddy job and they don't normally have such nice droplets of water. From a strict realism standpoint, it seems off to me. Giving the benefit of the doubt, it could just be a proud husbandman showing off the fruits of his labor so... 9 works for me.

The photo is very well put toghether and from a technical standpoint it really leaves nothing behind. YOu should do well in the challenge and this is a very pleasant picture.

Nicely processed. the right hand on the palm either has some motion blur or is out of the DOF. That gets my eye just a bit. Otherwise, nice composition with the three tomatoes. 7

Nice tomato crop! My current work is assembling and wiring up a machine to wash, wax, and sort tomatoes at the rate of about 900 25lb boxes per hour. Most people don't know that you mostly get green stained hands from picking tomatoes, but this is a photo contest. Good concept, and excecuted well in the tech dept. I take away one little click for the back light showing behind the lower tomato, right side, and above the top tomato. If you could get that little border around the outside of the hands, like where the leaf on the right goes over the finger, it would really stand the whole subject out from the background.
