the wheels of time

shot at the National Rail Museum in York, UK, this is a detail of the Chinese Government Railways steam locomotive 4-8-4 KF7 class, No 607, 1935. you don't really get the perspective from the shot, but these wheels are about six feet in diameter, and the engine they're on is about twenty feet tall, so it's a monster.

 

i took a few frames of this shot using different apertures (this one's f/1.8) and happen to think i nailed the focus on it. there's another at f/11 with everything in focus, but i didn't like it as much, so would welcome comments/critiques.
