That's a shot worth trying for, it's a bit of a rise over a railway bridge. I had it in mind as an Arrivee cover, but it was difficult to get the foreground sharp, the blurred bricks suggest speed well.

Too bad that bloody bike rider is in the way.  Impressive how you well you lined up his helmet light with the top of the wall.
