    I love the truck too, but the weaver reminds me again of the Laura Ingalls Widler books about her pioneer life!!

    I would go with the B/W. People are the most fascinating, the guy on the right makes the shot. Although I want to see the entire hammer he is holding.

    I like the engine as well, but then again I'm a bit biased to fire trucks. mwink.gif

    I was looking at the photo Mark mentioned.....and I have to say its a toss up between that one and the firetruck for me......although I think I like the firetruck the best, there is a reflection of a tree on the left, that I would feel better about if there was a "little bit of tree" mebbe photoshopped into the image.......dunno, just a thought.

    I love the firetruck idea. But like I said to another person doing cars on this challenge, try to show the entire car or at least show a few examples of both close ups and the entire car. Those old firetrucks are HUGE! Use their size to your advantage. If you have a super-wide-angle lens, try a shot from the back to show its immense wheelbase or do a wide angle shot as if youre sitting all the way in the back of the truck to show how large the inside of the cabin is. There's plenty of ways in shooting it ;)

    However, one thing I wouldnt chaneg if you reshoot it again (with some luck), hopefully you can show the clouds again. The red truck and blue clouds work like ying and yang, I like it.

    Hopefully that helps, good luck!
