Flower and church

: Flower and church; This combines the flower and the church! Using a fish-eye lens, I was only a few inches away from the flower, and I've contrasted the crisp focus of the plant against the soft focus of the church.; Created by: Sgbrown.; Tools Used: D200, RawShooter, GIMP; Created on: March 2007; Image Views: 256; Average Views per Day: 0.5; Image Number: 36212

I like the depth of field in this picture. My eye is really drawn to the crispness of the flower after seeing the rest slightly blurry. This adds a lot of interest to the photograph, I think.
