I've gotten a number of comments regarding clutter. Well, it IS a garage and a sparse garage is a wasted one. And, unfortunately, the firefighters wouldn't let me drive it out of the station. |

Hi, Critique Club here...
This is a really nice image with some eye-popping color. It scored pretty well too so that should tell you something.
Regarding the clutter. When I first opened the image, that was my second thought, the first being the cool wide angle perspective on the front of the fire truck. You say there was nothing you could do, and maybe that's true, but it is there and is somewhat distracting nonetheless. Maybe you could have minimized it by taking a different angle approach, or not. You were the one who was there. But I seriously think that if you had options like if you could go in there and light it so you could use a very small aperture to allow the background clutter to fall off into darkness, this would have been a 7 score. Of course I don't know if you were there as part of an open house type thing, or if you have influence to be able to set up a shot like that but if you do, it would be very cool.
I like that you listed your edit settings here.
If I had voted in this challenge, I probably would have scored this an eight.

| Excellent subject, however the background feels quite cluttered to me, drawing my eye away from your target. |

| I like the image but am of 2 minds on the background. Looks cluttered, but adds great context. |

| This is very good. I think a tighter crop would be better to get rid of the clutter around the top. Possibly position yourself lower. I can see in the reflection you are standing fairly straight up. |
