Not my worse nightmare, but to be abandoned in life is harsh enough, and to be abandoned after death could be a nightmare to some. Doubt the voters will get it, but I like the picture. Intentional shallow DOF - the church is abandoned and empty, but there are some things that looked better fuzzy.

While I think your point of focus is a touch soft, I really like the concept and execution of this photo. It speaks to me.

For me the blur in the back is a distraction I would have liked more dof

Solid perspective and use of shallow DOF, and I really like the recurring shapes in the image. But the image seems to lack any real sharpness in the memorial in front to counterbalance the softness behind.
