Bill, I don't see what you mean. The plane of focus is along the rope and the bell-shaped thingies, and considering the difference in lighting they don't look significantly sharper on one side or the other. The lower corners are well behind the plane of focus, and the strings of colorful oval things stretch diagonally away from the camera.
In short, looks okay to me.
