Great finish, Paul! Did you really mean "dual" or did you want "duel"?

Dang! So close ... serious, this whole batch of comments is really appreciated -- that old, slightly faded color slide/print look is just what I was trying for; I thought it matched the subject matter.

I also like that it's a capture of a one-time opportunity, being shot from a high seat in a bus, which was briefly stopped at an intersection, and which it's not that likely I'll be riding again.

I'll have to look up Stephen Shore -- I'm not familiar with his work ... OK, maybe you were thinking of something like this?

For contrast (sic), here is the "original" edit of this shot, before desaturation

This was one of my higher scoring in this FS. Got an 8 from me. Likewise it reminded me of Stephen Shore. Seriously under valued in my opinion.
