The out of focus plants in the forground dont do too much for this photo

My eyes are drawn to the plants and not to the wall, it is very distracting. The fact that they are blurry bugs me. The wall itself is very good. The flowers and vines draping over it adds a great effect. Good job with finding the wall but next time, focus more on it.

Interesting shot. I would have like to have seen the foliage within the depth of field, and maybe see a little more of the building. Just a thought.

For my own personal tastes, if you are going to blur the foreground, keep the amount of foreground to a minimum. The blurred leaves and flowers is a distraction.
