This is a great example of the Tableau-like quality that some photographs have, forcing the viewer to ask "how? why?". The image is very dramatic and when first viewed the implications do not have to be explained to the viewer. The photographer does a nice job tying the two elements together, so much so that it seems as if the photograph itself is a portrait, with both the subject and the vehicle are under the photographer's direct control. The positioning of the vehicle is nice, with the bent metal in the hood adding a dramatic quality to the photograph. The subject lying down also adds a dramatic like quality to the photograph as if he has just been hit. All in all, this photograph does a great job in grabbing the viewers attention and forces them to consider future implications of both the "driver" and the "victim".
