Bread and Wine In Focus

I am forever honing my craft of photography, and this photo is one of those experimental moments that really worked. I threw the camera in a wide open aperture of F2.8 which creates a strip of what is in focus and the rest gets blurred really quickly. My intent was to put focus on Jesus in the center and then blur the rest into obscurity.

I'm not sure this wheel has turned in many years, and I think the snow accumulation on the wheel balances the brown color a bit. The sun was setting at the time of this shot, and that warmed the colors nicely. The only problem was it required a larger aperture. This affect is nice for blurring the background through the wheel, but doesn't allow the entire wheel stay in focus. All around it was a nice first attempt at nostalgia.
