I'm pretty sure my grandpa has a picture of this same truck... how neat! I think that a different POV and a different composition might help make this photo more interesting. I personally don't really like how the car is cut off... and the shadow that's falling across the lower half of the photo is also bothering me. But it certainly is a very interesting subject!

Whoa! Quicksand? I'm really curious about the story behind this picture. The kid's face is a little dark, but otherwise good picture.

This subject is really interesting, and could result in a powerful image. To try to squeeze a "candid" out of it is a disservice. 4 sjgleah

Seems a little light on the challenge aspect, but a very nice shot. The little boy seems a bit overly shadowed. Nice title. Extra viewing has lowered my overall impression. 8 Swash

Cool find and the composition is great. Focus on the boy could be sharper. 7 ~indigo997
