>>2865403Have you added some super cheesy edge shading to this, or is it all in the framing? It looks like a combination of both to me.
As a thumbnail it looks ok, but at full size, the colours look all wrong and the out of focus tree is like eye-sandpaper.
I've personally tried a lot to include out of focus foreground elements in my photos, to give a sense of 3-dimensionality to them, but I've found that it can often just look like theres a big out of focus tree in the way.
The key for me is that they must be a much smaller part of the composition than you might use normally (say 1/6th of the frame, rather than 1/3, because they are never the subject), and well balanced with the other elements in the frame (such as foreground car exits stage left, while subject is moving right through the frame).
