I took this shot in a studio. First I took a flower that had already been cut, and put it in the overflowing soil. Then I took a watering pot that I bought just for this project and had a friend water the flower while I took the photo.
In Adobe Photoshop, I selected most of the photo to be turned sepia tone, and for the rest I lessened the saturation. I cropped it, rotated it, and took out a couple spots.

I think that the "moody" background disrupts the title and the concept of the image. If you can reshoot or adjust in a photo editing program, try a pastel blue or pink or pearl. I'll only take a point off for the title/photo mismatch---8.
I like the composition very much, the color is great too, a little noisy in places but maybe that adds to the overall effect. A little small would of like to have seen a larger image but you've cropped it right.
Wonderful tones in this pic! This is a great image and the only thing I can see for improvement would to have the water come out of the can in a sprinkle instead of stream, but then you would have to tilt the can more and mess with the composition. Nonetheless, very well done.
I would have cropped this closer, cropping out more of the watering can and concentrating more interest on the flower and falling water. Could also have been a tad brighter: light sort of flat, causing flower not "popping" off the image. Good work and keep experimenting.
