I like the feeling of motion here; the cars racing by and the gent still in the street is cool. I do find the blown highlights a bit distracting but it's still an interesting shot.

Thanks for sharing,
Chris

An example of blow highlights would be the poster girls face. All the details have been washed out. Look at the sign above it, the signs along the right side and the Mickey D's sign, all blown out. The car and firetruck look good. Catch 22, what do you expose for and how much is too much?

Looking past the highlights, I still enjoyed looking at the shot.

I thught you wrote "blown headlights". Yeah, see what you mean, but this was a "hear the siren, point the camera and click" shot, nothing set up and the camera on auto.
thanks for looking at it and the comments
