The water is a bit over-exposed here I think, is hard to see it.

Beautiful green field. I think I was there this weekend. Actually, I was in the Skagit Valley in Washington State and it looks just like this. You probably have received comments about the slant on the horizon but at the angle you shot it, it works, just adds perspective. Although I am a real stickler for straight horizons, it doesn't always have to be. Anyway, the sky is slightly over exposed. I know two ways to remedy a problem like that, 1) take two photos, one with the sky correctly exposed and the other with the land correctly exposed and then use PS to merge the two together(not legal in the challenges). 2) use a graduated Neutral Density filter. Have the darker portion covering the sky and then expose the land.

Personally I think that the photograph would be improved if the only object in the frame was the strainer. The other kitchen utensils seem to detract from the shot. Nevertheless I think the lighting was superb and made for a very interesting still life.

Comment by Silver Fox:
Composition is nice and simple
Idea is nice and original, Fits the Challenge
Lighting is by day and hard to do anything with
Focus looks okay
Colours are fine
I don't think I would have put that weed in front of my photo though, would have pulled it out, and just put the sea of green in front.

Make sure you get your horizons straight! That is what puts me off this image, I have to admit. (4)

Good capturing of the challenge. Squaring the picture and loosing the twig in front would have improved composition and execution.
