I like the picture better with the policeman reacting to the big boom instead of using the lash (thank you, Designer!) Although maybe you could try turning his head to look at the explosion even with his arm up to protect him. It would help subtly guide the eye back up into the picture and connect the two more.
Also, your last comp (admittedly rougher) had the word police on the side of the flying vehicle. Without that there’s nothing to really tie him to being a police officer. Are you going to re-add decals to the “car?” Blue and Red lights could also be really cool… or they could unbalance the color composition you already have. :shrug:
