Hello Luis, here I am.
I'm not really satisfied of the effect the image makes on the monitor
screen.
The scene IS static indeed and cropping might have improved it but I
wanted to leave the irregular edge of the frame in the print since I
thought it added more of that old-times appearance you also refer to.
It wasn't a very thought-of shot, is a bit difficult to stay calm and
think about composition when big trucks speed by a couple of feet from
your back...
The big white border I left on the original print makes it better but
perhaps I'm just putting a smart face on a total blunder.
Not my best shot at all but I thought it would well suit the theme.
Thanks for your time and comments, Flavio
