The picture is "alive" with action and well composed. I like the heavy solid squareness of the truck in contrast to the light airy billowing of the smoke.

Good composition and color. It's a sad event, but a good documentary photo. --Jennifer

Terrific photo. Unfortunately, without the title, there is nothing to say city life to me.

Good work, capturing some real life action - maybe could have provided the shot to a newspaper or something. Composition is good and the smoke makes a great interesting background. A more witty title might have worked - the truck looks like it belongs to a cooking company, based on the chef's hat. Maybe something like "Bertrands new flame-grilled range of foods" or "Bertrands cancels 'Cook-while-delivering' strategy"?

A phenomenal photograph, but it doesn't really represent "city life" (I'm sure that both firefighters and fires exist the all over rural towns). That said, the fact that it's a delivery truck that's on fire, does help. Photograph, per se: "10"; fitting the challenge: "5"; TOTAL: "7."

I really like this as an effective photojournalistic shot, not so much about 'city life' though

it looks like that truck is driving into hell

this would be a great shot for a newspaper. the fireman included in the frame make it. nice job.

Good capturing of an event that certainly occurs in a city on a fairly regular basis. Good exposure for what could be a difficult situation.

Well, the only link to the challenge here seems to be in the title...otherwise I would not have any idea that the picture is supposed to depict city life...I never like it, the link to the challenge should be obvious from the picture even if there is no title...sorry (4)

What an exciting capture. Did you just happen upon this or did you set the fire? Just kidding! 9

This is a really good action/photojournalism shot, but it just doesn't say city life to me.

Wow...fantastic. Feel sorry for the truck and the driver..great capture.

Nice action shot. It looks dangerious

Very nice shot. I would like it if there was just a _tad_ more space to the right of that side-view mirror... otherwise great.

nice journalism

Interesting picture but doesn't mean "city" to me. Could easily be in the country as there are no city clues in the picture.

Journalistic and a lucky shot if you ar not a journalist. Like the intensity of what´s happening and hope you stayed far away!
