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

Love the way it's parked on the grass - is that the last stop on route 810?

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.

Nice subject -- I think the photo would be better with a bit more contrast (everything is now almost the same shade of gray).

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

There is a plant or stick in front of the bus that could be removed.

black & white ruins this picture

Meets the challenge. I like the grey effect, but the subject looks really clean and new in an old kind way ΓΆ€“ gosh, I hope you know what I mean, because I'm not sure I do :)

nicely done

LOL. I've been trying not to read the titles but this one cracks me up.

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?

The background on the left is really distracting,also the exposure ia a little off,looks a little muddy.
