Taken at the museum on Saturday. This was in a recessed wall display. I was shooting from across the hall. Couldn't get any closer without falling into the stairwell.

I would sharpen it some but it looks ok, your DOF might have been a bit narrow causeing the wheels to be soft, the camera focused on the body? I like the lighting, well done.

Yeah Greg, I focused on the body. This is displayed in such a way that the only possible focus point was the body. I had no way of shooting from any angle other than broadside. If I remember correctly, the stairwell was too far under it to get a shot from either end. Thanks for the input.

I wonder what kind of shutter speed you could have got with a smaller aperture which may have put more in focus. Just a bumbling amateurs curiosity.

maybe if you had a tri pod. then you could close down the aperture and increas your dof
