Did I focus too close?

I was quite pleased with the effect in this shot - which was purely by luck. I simply took the opportunity to place the camera on the tracks.

Do you think I should have had a higher aperture (this was f4) to try and bring more into focus, or do you think that would have spolied the effect of highlighting the rail and the crossing?

TIA.

    Your image gives illusion of having used a "Tilt Shift" Lens.
    I think you got a great result, the orange colour on the building is blown out, but other than that it's an interesting shot clap.gif .... Skippy :D
