I wanted to get a sort of "kid's eye view", so I leaned forward and rested
my elbow on my knee to support the camera at the right height. I had the
feeling that some of my fellow passengers thought I was a bit crazy!

Today's other picture

is in the Images less lucky gallery.

Canon EOS 350D ,Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM
1/40s f/6.3 at 300.0mm (cropped) iso800 - full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Nicely picked out of the crowd. All those lines with the contrasting colors add to it.

A great shot. Love the composition and DOF. I always want to get some shots in the MTR, but not brave enough.

Stopping down just a little from wide open usually improves the sharpness a bit, although I have never got around to doing any tests to see how much difference it makes to this lens. So I tend to do it as a matter of course unless I really need the lens wide open. And "goat" as in "don't act the goat", but even more as in "sheep and goats" ...

Speaking of f-stops ... did you deliberately not go for 5.6? (Could've sped up the shutter a bit.) Not that I'm complaining... I agree depth of field is pretty much spot on for best effect in this most excellent photo. Why "Goat"?
