 My favorite abandoned bus once again. It is my favorite mostly because it is the only one that is out in the open rather than in someone's back yard.
Processing:
Color Efex Pro tonal processing
Urban Acid
Adjust levels
Saturate red light and yellow bits
Then add the frame and overlays.

The frame is made from the Polaroid overlay by chele found here (thanks for sharing!). I put two together with one rotated to get the step effect, then did lots of fiddling with levels and stuff. I also made a pure black frame of the same shape to darken things up a bit. I used a broken glass overlay that I thought was Les Goodman's, but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the site. If anyone knows where it is, I'd love to get the information since I like to give credit for stuff I use. Here it is:

Wow, this is great...and not just because I have an obsession with old decaying vehicles! ;)

I'm clearly going to have to get back to NM!

Great old wreck of a bus, and the processing with the overlays makes the whole thing exceptional.

You and pekesty got it all goin' on with the trucks today. And even in a similar palette. Loving that overlay. I forgot about it. Then you did that awesome polaroid and holy crap - you got a winner.

That textured metallic background is perfect for the subject, as are the broken glass overlays. All thematically integrated, and the colors work well, too. Very nice.
