FIRST IMPRESSION: This shot is a bit bland in my opinion. It's mostly grey and lacks the contrast necessary to draw out your main subject. Also, this image lacks anything to hold the viewer's interest.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: It might have been nice to see evidence of a bus stop along with the sign... people waiting, a bus shelter, etc.

TECHNICAL: There is not enough contrast in this image to draw out your subject. If there is more light at this location at a different time of day (yes I know you're in Iceland, so there might not be), it may have benefitted you to shoot then. Otherwise, a conversion to b/w and pumping up the contrast might have benefitted you. I feel the b/w might help since your background is colurful and competes with the main subject.

CONCLUSION: This is a subject with potential, but overall not one of the most exciting shots this week. Overall, the shots that score best are the ones that seem to have a purpose above and beyond the challenge itself.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

Might have been more meaningful if you could have seen people waiting ... or the bus off in the distance.
