Technically a difficult shot to make work - lots of the same tone, not a lot of contrast.

Beautiful picture. The green moss really draws attention to that side of the photo rather than to the subtle elements which you were trying to bring out. I would try cropping that out and see if you like it any better.

more contrast, perhaps sharpening issues.

Wow, i have an identical plow in some trees behind my house. how strange. It's placement is very similar.

Well spotted. The flat lighting helps add to the atmosphere.

I think the photo definitely fits the challenge but there is a bit much going on in the background for me. I know that you need to have some DOF so you can see that it is in the woods, but maybe a little less DOF would have helped this one. I also might have boosted up the saturation and had a little less contrast in this shot. Something looks a bit too harsh for me but I am not exactly sure why. It might also help if it was easier to tell that this was a plow, I pretty much have to take your word for it.
