Than you all for all the comments, critiques and praises. I am really happy with the results being my first time entering the contest. Hope to get better with time. Thanks again. gmo.
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - good Technical Aspects - good. I'd like a little more contrast Meets Challenge - I think so. Don't confuse old with unused Visual Impact / Originality - quite good
Oddly enough, I drive by this bus about every other day. I keep trying to figure out how to make a good photo out of it. You have done as well as I ever could, based on the surrounds and placement of the bus.
I think a touch more contrast might help this picture, it seems kinda muted grey now. The contrast might make the shadows darker or soemthing. Also, and this is minor, but. . . . the back of the bus is in pretty good shape, it looks like. Maybe frame it so that the front half or third of the bus is "entering" the picture. karmat
Meets the challenge. I like the grey effect, but the subject looks really clean and new in an old kind way – gosh, I hope you know what I mean, because I'm not sure I do :)
This is nice, I like the subject. B/W helps to hide the wires and whatnot, so that was a good choice. I think that it could be a little sharper, but maybe you were going for a softer effect?
