This one is easy for me because there is so much right about it. The colors all work together and I love the diagonals in the composition.
I can understand the comments and some of the lower scores for not being garden enough though. Even with those, you finished above 6, which is great.
What I would nitpick though is I think the white rock in the asphalt is a bit distracting. The black crack I both like and dislike. I like it because I think it balances out the composition. I dislike it because it's bold enough to attract attention and following it leads the eye out of the picture in either direction.
I didn't vote in this challenge but if I had, this would have gotten a 7 from me. Holding it back a little would have been the weakness in relating to the challenge.
Of course this is just one opinion, I hope it's helpful.
love the way the colours form lines also the colours of the leaf are reflected in the stones of the pavement or read, wouldn't mind having this onmy wall.
Only thing garden? could have been taken on the road as well
