    Just my thoughts:
    Shoot from just inside the van or put the focus on the outside?

    When the foreground has much blurred area, it makes seeing uncomfortable. I think cropping left side and right side so that it looks like as if you shot this by sitting in the first vehicle (as Brian has suggested) can help, I feel

    Try shooting from the opposite direction, that brick wall just doesn't do it for me. Of course you could wait for someone to pass by...

    re: How would you do this?

    I'm on John's wavelength; it needs human interest, or at least, a more interesting subject at the end of the 'tunnel' than a bit of 'block work' walling.

    The other unfortunate distraction is the bright rear end of another van visible though the first van's wind-shield/screen.

    Would I be correct in assuming that some kind of filter effect (or other PP) has been applied in post? (groan, given the subject)

    I ask because I doubt the combination of standard iPhone lens and tiny sensor would have given that little DoF so as to blur the edges of the door so much.

    Interesting shot Matthew, none-the-less.

    In addition to which, if you think it's not really good, tell us what you think is wrong with it.

    What do you want to show? There's hardly a subject to see, unless it's the wheel. What's left is a game with perspective. To me that limits to where to focus: in the beginning or at the end. First one is leading you in the picture, second one leading you out the picture. Focusing in the middle suggests there is a subject but as I said I don't see one.

    I think there are many vans...it is a frame within a frame within another frame....up to infinity. If there were something on the wall seen at the other end, that would have been an added interest.
