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.

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

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.
