Good job, Rian. I like the busy excitement of this one.
The "lights coming from both sides" effect is something I notice, but I'm not going to suggest you change it. It fits with your style and your style is a few steps away from "reality". I mean that as a compliment.
I like how you toned down the bright red of the fire truck, and composed so that it was driving right out of my monitor.
I asked an expert for his opinion (my 5 yr. old son who LOVES firetrucks)!
First he said, "Is that for real?" I told him you added some things with the computer and then he said, "It's AWESOME...I'm serious, Mama, it's awesome"! I asked him what he liked about it and his reply was simply, "Everything".
Wow, that is one crazy-ready crew. Love the capture, almost like a "Greenbergish" feel to it. Very fitting backdrop, love the lighting, the expressions, everything
Love the desat look of the overall scene, could perhaps warm up the skin tones as mentioned by others, to "tie" it all together
I have been quietly enjoying all your posts here. Another great one. Your style is immediately recognizable. I can only wish to have that kind of impact someday...

I'm knocked out by the photograph. I couldn't imagine any way of changing it, not improving on it but changing it other than literally burning down the house. Humbled I am.
