    Did you shoot the second one through a car window? It's got reflections all over the upper half; I can clearly see trees above the left truck, and I can even read a sign that's reflected above the right fire truck "ING 8:00-4:00". Most of the firefighters weren't looking at you when you snapped, either; my guess is that they were posing for another photog and you snapped the shot in between his frames, from off-center, which is why the left side is cut off and the trucks are not centered.

    It's an okay pic, but it would have been much better if you had shot over the other photog's shoulder, and done something to avoid the reflections.
    What I said when I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time: "The wide ain't wide enough and the zoom don't zoom enough!"

    I like the composition of #1. If it were mine, I would open up the shadows of the building on the right just a bit.

    Well if I'd of done all the above it would be a posed shot and in a diff forum. This is
    truly a street shot and one I came upon while traveling to work. :D
