I decided to go back to Trinity College in Dublin to try to retake some photographs that I had taken before (that came out crap). This is one of them which I refer to as the Trinity College “car park”, although really it was to try to capture the cobbles of the path.
I reckon the guy who just walked past me was probably wondering what the hell a 6 foot 4 grown man was doing nearly on the floor taking pictures but hey I don’t care I ended up with the shot I was after

Nice shot. Kinda catalogue like. With a trinners dude walking nonchalantley by. You could see this in a high glossy “Trinity, The future is here..” type of magazine. Thats not a critisism but a compliment.

It can be really hard ignoring what people think of your unorthodox position as you lie down taking a photograph of the ground. Just think of the money and it wont seem so weird

Nice to see the verticals, vertical
As for the cobbles, you seem to have too shallow a DOF. the foreground cobbles and farground ones seem soft, I think you need to stop down the lens a bit more and focus a third up the picture to aquire a larger DOF.
Were you using multi-point auto focus??, it seems as the sharpest point in the shot if the number plate of the car nearest the guy.
I am sure that stopping the lens down would of cause issues for you as far as camera shake i guess, as i see you were at 28mm @ 1/100, but you could go down to maybe 1/60 or so and bump the ISO to 200 to gain back the same amount of light.
