I like this image a lot, even though I didn't care much for the title. The image stands by itself, however. I like the sepia / black. Might have been a bit more interesting with a 3 pixel white border inside a black border. But that's me.

very nice. I like the "coldness" of the gray metal

Critique Club review:

Howdy Amit,

IMO your shot meets the challenge quite well.

The shot is really interesting. There are many interpretations and thought you can derive from the shot. I tend to look at is as an adventure of travel. Plowing through the rain/fog to somewhere unseen. This mood is wonderful.

The shot itself is set-up perfectly. Rule of thirds, to me, is excellent. The bus being 1/3, the road 1/3 with the nice curve, and the cliff wall the last 1/3. My eye follows the road and curve (the subject) and bus and wall lead my eye to the road. I like this. especially with the fog and wetness.

The colors and shading are right on. The light spot in the sky with the tree are nice modifiers. The more I look the better I like your shot.

IMO I see no negatives in this shot. Too bad you didn't get a ribbon, but you will if you keep it up. Great shot and look forward to seeing future shots.

Have a Great 2004.

Van

The fog and the scene to my left are wonderful, the bus and the dew are only OK.
