The Layered Garden

I call this photograph "The Layered Garden."  We were sitting in chairs up on the raised part of our side yard, and I noticed these purple flowers leaning out toward the lawn, across the red and yellow flowers in the background.  I have done a lot of garden photography in my career, but I have never taken a photograph like this.  I like to think of this photograph as "layered" with the purple flowers in the foreground, and then other flowers behind.  Normally I would take photographs where all the flowers in the frame would be sharp.  I just think that this is interesting because is is more complex.
