Looks good, and all the details are there, but overall I find it too sparse.
 
Still, good job.  I like the irregularity in the bricks and the 'weeds.'

sad, but nicely done

From YaelParis@operamail.com:
That's an original interpretation of the theme. too bad you didn't model a more
complex cigarette packet, this would improve the realism of the scene, the
plants seems too plastic also.

From no13@ozemail.com.au:
If this image has more plants than the real thing maybe you should start a
Japanese stone garden :) A little more dirt on the pavers and the ball would
help what is otherwise an excellent _mage.

I reall like the Fence and lighting

From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk:
A nice idea, but needs more detail. More objects, more textures! All one
really sees is the absence of plants, rather than what's there instead.

So many present us with a beautiful garden, that a real plain garden appears
unexpectedly appropriate in this round. You made a dnagerous bet, but you made
a
good bet in my eyes.
I like the way you modelled the sand/earth with the stones and smaller and tiny
versions of them. All the plants look pretty darn real to me, the bin, and many
other details. Very good, very well achieved. Just a place I would not like to
see though, looks bleak.

Hmmm... not inspired? ...a benginner? I can't believe! The light is a bit
poor, but the scene is very well modelled (measure tapes are great!).

technical - really nice broom - very good!
artistically- good! nice, clean image (not overly cluttered)
theme - spot on.  we've seen aussie gardens that look like that.

From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au:
A nicely done image. The paving is especially good, with the uneven surface and
the weeds poking through - though a little colour variation and texture to
indicate
grime would help a lot I think. The dirt looks good, and the weeds are
convincing.
Compositionally a bit empty, but I suppose that's really the point. :-)
