Playing with Depth

I took this photo among quite a few others today in front of my house.  The lighthouse is about 8" tall and sits on the top of the mailbox post by the street.  I intentionally included the stop sign on the corner trying to create an illusion or at least a photo that allows the viewer to ask a question (hopefully, not why in the world did he do that?).  I can see it might have been better to use a deeper depth of field.  Anyway, it was fun trying.  Thanks for looking.
