Great - yes it is one of those you can't stop looking at, and from the thumbnail I too thought the 'bark' was the background not 'in the way' as it were. Excellent I deifinitely think you have stumbled on something here. Just a silly thing, [sorry it is not techincal in the least] but sometimes when I can't get what I want in focus, I put my hand in front of the thing I want in focus to get the focus there and then remove my hand - works for me - well sometimes

Am I barking mad? Don't know - you'll have to ask the dogs!
Some useful comments on here though. I might try this particular size again with something else. I think there is an optical effect ofsome sortgoing on and I'm convinced it relates to the size/ratio I've used. Intriguing.

It took me a while to realize that tree was in the foreground, and not something in a break in the background trees! A very creative shot, Neil!

i really like this one. the out of focus tree really adds something, and yes, i cant stop looking either.

I think (my 2 cents) that the photo is as if I am looking out of my own eyes... therefore I think when I focus on the birch it should come into focus. Very interesting photo Neil. Almost an optic illusion. I like it.

It's because the eye (brain) keeps searching left and right of the unsharp tree, refusing to look straight at it .. eye and brain cannot get this stem into focus, and are therefore protesting and looking elsewhere !
Just my 2c.. Peter
