Policia

Policia
On a main road into Cuenca, Ecuador which abutted a construction site, a pickup truck and a truck carrying concrete collided. The police looked on while the workers scrambled to clean up the concrete before the rains came.

This photo was taken from the back seat of a van through the windshield, so I did not have many options available to me to change the angle of the photograph.

IMO. Saw this before, Esther, but am impressed once again. The background is sufficiently blurred to make the policeman stand out but not so blurred that he is completely isolated from the action. I like the crop showing so clearly that he is a policeman and the yellow color of his jacket really stands out against the background. I'd have trouble finding any fault at all with this shot.

IMO...I find the position of the cop in relation to the vehicles really tells the story. You can tell that there has been an accident without your words. The slightly blurred background also works well, helping to outline the cop while still allowing the scene to be seen. The vest works well for two reasons...the bright colour stands out and 'Policia' immediately tells me that I am not on a rural road in Canada or the U.S. Just a little more info for the image. Glad nobody was hurt, but like someone said earlier it would have been fun if the rain had come before the concrete was cleaned up...speed bump!
