Really nice shot! The "blur" creates the fantasy effect that really goes well with the angels, I think...sort of an impressionistic interpretation. I happened to scroll the image when I was looking at it and cut out the partial window at the top, leaving the bottom part of the plant, and it improved the shot...wonder if you'd considered that cropping. Anyhow, a really creative, nice image!!

Thank you! You know, I hadn't ever considered cropping this. I can't do it where I'm at today, but now I'm going to have to go home and play around with it. Good call!
