If your subject is the peeper on the fence maybe you could have the whole fence-up to the camera in focus and let the background blurr to bring attention to the subject. I be some people dont even notice your subject.
Interesting separation of two very different areas. I think it would be better without the person peeking over the wall, and I would have tried not to include less of the left area, leaving out the part that is really "whited-out " (maybe cropping will do the trick?)
this is a really interesting picture but the first thing that i had to do was to tilt my head to the right. i think that the 'slantedness' of the image is very distracting from the overell image quality. other than that i think this is an outstanding and beautiful shot and will be rewarded for it!
