I thought, later, about different DOF's and came upon the idea you're suggesting, however, I didn't think of the skull and crossbones bike as the focal point. Thanks for the tip - I think you're quite right though, it's a good idea to shoot it a few different ways, how can you lose.

If I had a nickel for every time I got it totally wrong in the field and saw the solution as soon as I saw the image on my computer screen...
Focusing on the one bit of color in that shot definitely wasnt a mistake, and I would have done the same thing. Hopefully, I would have taken one like I suggested...but probably not. This, I think is the real trick to becoming a photographer...figuring out what to shoot when you're there. Becoming a good photographer takes it a step further. You get there when you skip all thhe shots that would be less than the best.
