Great, fun, brings a smile to my face. Pity it wasn't a really nice blue sky day then would have IMO been a ribbon shot, with a huge saturation of colours. A little sharpening wouldn't have gone amiss either. Still a 9 in my book - good stuff.

The bench on the front fender and the building behind are distractions. The bench might be movable, and much of the building could be hidden by a different point of view and different cropping. It is an excellent subject. The building also results in the subject itself being underexposed.
I like this. The flowers inject a much needed bit of color. The placement in front of a house, seperates it from the rural scenes making up most of the challenge entries. I might prefer a picture taken at a different time of day, particular if this view is from the east. A sunrise photo would be awesom. 10
I realize that it is probably impossible to change, but i feel the drab house background really takes away from the potential of this shot. even the best subject needs the right composition. maybe looking for a different angle might help. just something to consider.
I wish the sun had cooperated with you on this. The lighting is so indirect. How did it look from more toward the front end of the truck? I think your composition could have been improved by a few steps to the right, so that the tree isn't right in the crease of the roof. Always walk around your shot (if you can) and check angles.
I think a tighter crop would have helped this image. The background roof is distracting from the main focus, and I'm not sure it would hurt to loose some of the taller plant.
