 "Labour of Love" is an excellent addition into the Country Life challenge.  21st place isn't too bad out but I thought it would end up higher, because it has such a natural and earthy feel to it.
 
 The image itself despite the subject is extremely clean. Your background is a nice rich black allowing us to focus on the subject.  The subject itself is prefect, probably what most people in the country would hope to achieve after their hard work.  I think your placement of the tomatoes is excellent and great use of three.  The few things I am really seeing the seems a little off is that upper right hand corners color which you saw from your comments of the photo.  Also tThe focus seems a little soft when you really start looking at the tomatoes.   I do love your work and hope to continue to see it.

		| | I love the contrast in this shot.  Is it me or is the tomato stem a little fuzzy? |

		| | The fingernails sure are clean here.  The quality of the image is real nice.  The content I am not too sure about.  Usually when removing tomatoes your hand will not be full of dirt.  I still like the quality of the image. |

		| | I think if this were focused more it would do much better.  Nice lighting and the dirt connects us with the feeling of actually having grown these. |
