Fire Engine

After the tail end of storm Brendan there was some building damage in Perth with the Fire Brigade called out to make safe.
I got a few shots before the police closed the road off.

Overall nicely developed image. Nice tonal range in the image and good DOF. Just wondering if a square crop would make the composition stronger.

Nice shot Gary, perhaps Tom's idea would work,crop off the right hand side - the two closed compartments ---- always amazes me the amount of gear they carry in a Fire appliance.

I like that.

Personally I would never have thought of taking it in mono, but it definitely works, though I agree with the others about cropping the right. Another surprise from the ex firefighter in me is that the driver hasn’t put his kit on yet.

Thanks guys
I cropped as advised and it is a stronger composition
