Great magic of defocus :) Very nice colours and contrast between saturation of right nearest part of picture and left farthest focal plane..I am disturbed a little about defocus of crucifix. In first look it seams to be unexpected. But without it, it would become like a regular portrait of crucifix with defocused background. In the presented way, defocus joins (with gradient) first and 2nd plane. I think it is a great picture without doubt...
