    It's a nice shot, good color and sharp. You might want to clone out the restroom sign though.

    Re: Fire Engine

    I think you might pick either one subject or the other instead of part of both. - Terry

    Re: Fire Engine

    Hard to tell what your main subject is, girl or fire engine, both have bits cut off. A wider shot may have helped here.

    Re: Fire Engine

    do you think its possible to take that part from the first photo and edit it into the 2nd one? just to get the guy out of the shot?

    Re: Fire Engine

    A lot of good things in the photo, but shots like this can be hard to get compositionally right. As Old Clicker said, you have to choose which thing to emphasize. I really like the red color.
