I wish that I could have done more things than the basic editing rules allows, I would've liked to clone out that windshield wiper by his mouth and dodged in a couple spots.

It was very rainy there, so I was holding an umbrella and trying not to get my new camera wet so it was difficult to do that and compose the shot better.

Lens used: Canon 28-135 IS

No gaussian blur, just a combo of falling rain and dof.

They have somthing Men-In-Black-ish about them. As if they were about to take out their sticks to erase your memory... Your border is interesting, it works well with two opposite colours without being distractive. 5.

those are men on a mission! i love how the background consists of only elements of the red truck, contrasting beautifully with the men's yellow suits and white helmets. also, their positioning in the frame is great.
