I wanted the maximum depth of field.  I was shooting very low, a little 
over one foot from the ground using a tripod and I wanted to make sure 
the foreground as well as the background were in focus.  The ZD 14-45mm 
doesn't have a depth of field scale.  I used them extensively on the OM 
Zuikos.  So I may have gotten away with f16 though I went with f22 for 
added assurance.  The polarizer lengthened the shutter speed even 
further.  I'm glad you liked the image. :)
