Thanks a lot for the nice and detailed comment, Andre! It does makes many things clear to me considering focus or no focus, and so I can understand better my own perception too. So, in a sence the ansence of focus can also make something to look and feel completely different - a good possibility to use sometimes, I guess.

Thanks a lot for the nice detaield comment, Erin. Well, about comparing the grass on this and on the other side... there is no grass at all in prisons ;-)
Cheers,
Nick

Thanks a lot, Sandip! Yes, sharpness alone is not always the right thing to do, but still I have to try that again with one flower fully in focus, just to compare the look and feel. I think that the emotional character would still remain, but also some kind of a better focal point would be added. of course I might also be completely mistaken, so let's see.
Thanks a lot for the nice and detailed comment!

Good idea and concept Nick.
I don't think you should be over concerned about the softer focus on the flowers. I have seen many excellent images where nothing at all is in focus.
If you were taking the image to show 100% detail of a certain flower, of course the focus would be an issue, as would the size of the flower in the frame. But in this case, I think you are looking for atmosphere rather than detail, so it is entirely subjective. We either like it or we don't. This is fine the way it is.

Thanks a lot again, Gustavo! Indeed the crossing wires were a very important reason that made me wanting to try this one.
All the best,
Nick

Oh well, after the experiment we (hopefully) know something more. ;-)
Thanks a lot for the nice comment, Dave!

With keeping in mind the photo title, the image brought to mind the expression, "the grass is always greener on the other side..." Luckily, the beauty can still be observed through the fence  .
The title of the photo is what first captured my interest; however, the more I study it I truly appreciate your unique take on the ordinary. The balance, crop, and shadows add much depth and interest. I greatly like this photo.

Fantastic composition Nick. Really love the way you've constructed this image. Grt DOF. Yes, it could have been better if you've kept a single flower completely sharp. But in my feeling yours is a much stronger composition with no or very little focus. The other way around (one in focus) is overused imo. This is perfect and emotional for me.
Best Regards,

I agree, Nick, if one of the flowers was completely in focus it would improve the image, but that's what experimentation is all about!
