The contrast has been jacked up, but that accentuates the effect the photographer wanted to express as the photograph being an example of what he saw. And I'm seeing the rule of thirds applied effectively, which is more difficult with a square image.

I agree that this photo works well.

It is technically good from the standpoint of focus and exposre.

B & W adds to the overall effect. There would likely be many colors in the photo which would distract.

It is full of the drama of an accident about happen.

My only suggestion would be to adjust the crop, if possible, by moving the subject more to the left and see how it looks.

Excellent work!
