    Nice. I would like it even more without the meters.

    I was going to disagree with Damon until I covered up the meters.
    I like the pop of color on the meters but it does take the attention away from that reflection.

    Good capture. I like how you can see the top of the truck and know it's a uhaul and how the driver is hunched over the wheel.

    I don't care for the symmetry of the building columns. Eliminating the meters on the right is one solution. Another is to crop from the left. Either way I think the composition would be stronger and the reflection would stand out more.

    Great concept, but I do agree the centering of the main subject is unfortunate.

    I agree in general with the observations about the crop. If it were mine, I'd crop out the meters. I actually like the idea of having them there but the fact that they are oof really distracts me.

    This has the potential to be a really nice urban shot - textures, reflection, silhouette, hint of activity balanced by inert walls. And without the meters, a coherent color palette that works with and not against the subject matter. What's not to like?!
