Lavender Farm

Paradoxically, there are areas of the notoriously wet Olympic Peninsula that are dry enough to grow lavender, usually associated with the south of France.
The background trees are a little out of focus. Is that a problem?

The OOF trees don't bother me. The lighting doesn't really seem to do this justice; it seems to be lacking some depth and separation.
I like the colors, and I really like the idea of lavender!!

I think a sharper background would improve the overall image, but may not be all that critical. I think the depth issue is due to the similarity in color between the background trees and the wagon. The colors really pop, though!
