Cotty kindly(?) called the plant rubbish. You say you like it. Me myself
really don't know. I thought I needed an element that took the frame a bit
down to earth. This plant was one of the things I tried, working in a hurry
(fading light). Didn’t have time to consider DOF seriously, shot more or
less "as is". Also shot some frames with some trees (leaves) in the
foreground, which did not work, not at all.
My opinion:
The plants in the near foreground would add to the illusion of depth and
be an important compositional element if they were sharp. They are too
soft to be more than a distraction as shot.
