I have a mixed reaction to this capture. I like the B&W treatment, I like the cop in the mirror in the lower right. However the picture as a whole just doesn't reach me or hold my interest. Something is going on but I'm not really sure. Whatever is going on isn't captured in the image.

As a photographer, I like the conversion. Busy? Sure but there's little doubt what's going on.
As a rider myself, I noticed "ARMY Retired", so I hope he's OK. Bike sitting upright could be the result of others or never went down due to crash bars. But the gal on the curb has her chaps down and appears to be very little clothing under that and I think I see a bloody forearm between the EMT's. It's shots like this that still scare the snot of out me riding.

I shot this from my car when driving past the scene in bumper-to-bumper
traffic. I have no idea of the seriousness of the injuries. As I've seen
leaving several such all-day biker events, the thick traffic that results in bikers
weaving in and out, and the beer consumed earlier in the day, almost
always means I'll drive past at least one accident.

I will try to shoo away some of the paramedics next time I
see a car crash.
(I don't use those little symbols/emoticons. What's the one
for "Just joking"?)
Personally, I like the cop reflected in my car mirror.

Unfortunately, I've been on the " receiving end " of rescue people's functions and, I can assure you, the busier things are, the better.

I do too! And I like the way everyone is positioned. But still...
