Ice sculpture next to an auto. Separation: the icy texture of the pallet and the sharpness of the actual car. The colors added a YMRC&B test to the separation as if for printing. Separation is left and right as well as dof down (front) and up (back)- draw and quartering the picture.

The icy color pallette is a great subject, but the car in the background really takes away from your subject. Maybe try adjusting your camera to only have the pallette in focus, assuming that the subject could not have been moved.
