I really like the new image. It has nice colour, density, and composition.

Well, I sure do appreciate all the input. I just submitted my pictures (#3 [most popular among you all], #1 because the out-of-focus leaves tell a story I have, and the last still shot of vegies). I agree they aren't anything outstanding but I like to try and enter this contest, usually only when I think I have something better than my usual. Thanks again everyone.

Honestly, though they are nice, none of the photos "speak" . IMO these photos do not show your photo skills and lack an interesting point of view.
I am not being mean, but honest.

Thanks. I appreciate your honesty. They didn't really speak to me really either. I just wanted to go for the contest.

Keep trying. I would like to see a shot without the soil. Use flash to gain Maximum DOF.

Thanks for your input. You may be right about the subject. Just didn't feel I had a lot to choose from. Do you think this merits a submission more?
You are getting close. That arrangement would look great on a large wicker tray or even a Tatami mat. That would concentrate the eye on the subjects much more.

Are you more interested in the flower or the zucchini? Fall harvest suggests food not flowers, but the picture is of yet, I assume, unharvested food. Maybe a bunch of already harvested (picked) zucchini together with some of the flowers amongst them. This would be more suggestive of a harvest to comply with the theme. Also, more of a wide angle and not so close in and showing more zucchini, maybe in a basket. It's always good to try and be different and unusual, millions of pictures have been taken of flowers. The essence of a great picture is surprise, and "wow, how did you get that shot?" Hope this helps.
