I was inspired by this by the Farmer's Markets that we have in Brisbane every second weekend and I have really wanted to see if I could create the toil. Shot with GIS_boy's hands that he kindly offered to get grubby and shot it with window light in our loungeroom with the remainder of the black backdrop material that remains from the batman shot :( .

"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.
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.
