The SRT moves in quick and takes control of the environment. I have been privileged to accompany both the Terre Haute Police and Fire Departments, on calls and ride with them on shifts.

This photo was taken on manual setting, ISO of 400 F-8 with a Metz 45-CL1 with a Quantum battery 2. Camera, Canon EOS 10D lens Sigma 28 to 70.

Funny shot. Definately not the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of 'night shot' so that gives you points for originality.
I see no real logical reason for this to be in such a long short (almost panoramic) crop. I think the trees on each side don't add to the shot, so don't see a purpose for adding them in with this crop. I think I'd rather see a vertical crop surrounding the police shield.
For being a night shot in low light, focus seems really good. It's hard though to tell that he's holding a gun, if you're not expecting it. You know? We expect him to be holding a gun, but can't really see it.
There is a light glare on the front of the shield that I wish somehow could have been more minimal. Seems to really stand out in our face a bit.
Overall I think it's an original shot for the challenge, but I think it's lacking something to hold my interest.

Could have used a different angle. Flash reflection is distracting.

Not sure this really works - over exposed police sign and all a bit murky otherwise. Not very "late night" feel to it. Very flat focal length - might be better with different lighting, and a bit more "action!"!

The crop isn't pleasing, imho, and the reflective parts of the shield is too much.
