I don't know if this is just me, but the photo seems a bit flat. A little bit of brightness and possibly contrast would help. I like the idea! :).

Yup. Immovable. I'm afraid the pic itself just comes off as a snapshot, though.

Interesting yet a bit to dull on the colors.

Yes, the item looks immovable, but the description for the chaallenge did say someone trying to move something immovable. It would have been great if the challenge was left further open (ie just Immovable) as this them would have scored better. Even a person sitting in the drivers seat, or leaning out the window would then have meant it met the challange completely.
Some light on the bus would have been better, as I find it too dull. The use of flash or lighting in some way to highlight the bus slightly would have added to this shot.
I am not sure about the crop. You have cut off the front and rear door slightly. Some more space both left and right would have added to the balance of the shot and even a little more foreground(with weeds included) could have helped, especially with the extra light.

Yep. That looks pretty immoveable.Maybe the contrast needs a little boost.

Needs more interesting lighting.

Lighting is a little flat. Would like the bus brighter. But sure does look immovable.

this is a great idea (great spot too) I think this would have been helped greatly with level adjustment (is there a person inside? if so it looks like the back of the seat?) perhaps some bright colors to pull them out of all that darkness inside and or a hook/chain of someone trying to pull it just showing the front end would have been better?) just some thoughts! :-) darn I wish I had something like this local to me I would have been all over it with outtakes! :-D :-)

-back for another look :-) I hope you post where this is in your details! :-) this bus has some real cool aspects about it that would photograph fun in future challenges I bet! :-) (ie Closeup someone with their face near the hole in the glass looking thru.... etc...) ;-) what a great location!

seems a little out of focus to me or maybe lacking sharpness
09/11/2008 11:31:09 AM
The image is too dark to be interesting.
The bright sky caused you subject to be underexposed.
09/11/2008 07:19:36 AM
Bright sky bit distracting for me. Interesting balance and composition.

Nice photo but will have to mark it as DNMC as there is nobody in the photo.

Take a photo of someone trying to move an immovable object.
09/11/2008 05:37:07 AM
I believe the challenge was to show someone trying to move an immovable object not just the object by itself?
09/11/2008 02:45:48 AM
The light is a wee bit dark, looks like early morning or late evening. Good idea though, it's cool you had this resource nearby.

I can see how immovable it is, but I think the challenge called for someone to be trying to move it... Also, the lighting is dull and the composition is unimaginative.
09/10/2008 03:45:51 PM
That bus doesn't look like its going anywhere! I wish it were a bit brighter though.

Take a photo of someone trying to move an immovable object. I don't see "someone." DNMC. Photo is also too dark without the darkness adding to the feel of the image or enhancing the bus.

This is a great bus. In my opinion it does not meet the challenge req's of having a person try to move an immovable object.
09/10/2008 08:22:55 AM
The image needs to be brighter on the object. I can't see the relationship to the challenge theme that much as nothing (except time) is pushing against the bus.
09/10/2008 08:09:36 AM
yeah it doesnt look like its goin anywhere
09/10/2008 12:37:08 AM
wheres the "someone" trying to move this immovable object ?..
09/09/2008 11:23:19 PM
Seems under eposed.
09/09/2008 09:11:43 PM
Please read the challenge specification again: "Take a photo of someone trying to move an immovable object."

I fail to see who is moving the subject here.
