With both the foreground and background being so soft in the focus, instead of wanting to linger on this photo, my inclination is to quickly move on because it hurts my eyes. I understand that your focal point is the middle of the frame, but it doens't work veyr well. Otherwise, I do like the shot. Had you zeroed in on the obect in the background, or maybe a bug or something in the fore, it would have worked much better, I think.
What a great perspective, I love it! Makes me feel really small looking at this. However I think the duotone is a little strong for me anyway. Nice shot!
I like the angle and perspective that you chose here, I like that it is not a color photograph anymore, gives it an old feel and makes it warm and home like... 8
