Artist's backyard

I love the bright colors in this one and the interesting focus. I wish I had something as pretty and intriguing in my backyard!

This is from New Mexico. I stopped at a little gallery on the high road from Taos to Santa Fe. These were stacked tanks, the gallery owner's husband worked with metal. Glad you liked the focus... all Photoshop (I blurred a duplicate top layer and then erased where I wanted focus), I was afraid it was a bit too much.

Well...I know I will probably offend somebody's sensibilities in saying so.... but I get tired when every image is sharp, austere, rigid, and therefore "perfect." So much of life is seen in flashes and blurs, side-ways glances and near-misses. I want photography to encompass all the possibilities.
