Playing with extremely narrow depth of field. This lens throws a hazy veil over the scene, with just a tiny bit of sharpness on the focus plane. I like the contrast of the plants against the gray background, which creates an abstract look. I go back and forth on the line coming from the bottom plant, but it has its charm, too. It gets to stay.
