I'm having trouble with this one. With the lightness, strong verticals and angles I have a hard time visually getting to the truck which, from the title, is your subject. I'm guessing the sign is in there to add to the humour of the shot, but the text in a clutter free area really demands attention, especially with the angles of the lifts all pointing at it and then the sign pointing off the page. This one is a tough compositional challenge to make it work.

Thank you for the thoughtful response (they are an endangered species)
Obviously, in street photography, you can only get what the scene gives you when it feels like it.

You could try a tighter crop that puts the boot resting on the door about a third of the way up into the composition. This puts the logo as the only text and makes a good visual starting point leading into the diagonal of the leg. Too late now, but you do have choice over DOF which helps to define or push background information away. In this case I think it would help your image.

Since the boot echoes the cherry pickers I wanted them to be visible so pushing the background further woof or darker wouldn't be my choice.
Feel free to recrop it as a demonstration of what you mean.

I was thinking something along this line. The strong vertical in the pole lines up nicely with the boot and is at a visually comfortable position.

Could work, thanks
