I like the contrast between a very old looking pole and the new paint. Makes the newness of the paint stand out a lot. I know this is getting really really picky, but the pole appears to be leaning slightly to the left. The background is very pretty and I like how you have the background out of focus. It brings out the subject more. Nice shot and good luck with the challenge.
This is one of the finest shots of something totally uninteresting that I have ever seen. I can very honestly say, I have never seen a post so well depicted. (I read this, it sounds sarcastic, but I really mean it.) Nearly the rule of thirds, but seems closer to two fifths, to me. Was the paint still wet? (joking...) 7 Swash
The only thing better would be to see a little more of the object with maybe a "wet paint" sign or something... I'm new at this, so I could be wrong :)
