yuck... waiting for the busby
elmomarieComment by digitalknight: A kid waiting reluctantly for the bus in the morning is excellent creative - and a wonderful idea. However the execution here is lacking.
what story is your photo telling? If it weren't for the title I would have no idea there was a bus even involved here. The photo alone is a overly lit girl walking with a backpack - I might assume school -
The fact that I can't see her face, there's a reflective yellow sign distracting, and the underexposed background make it hard to give this a high score.
To tell the story better you might include a bus stop sign, you could make one if you have to, or wait until the bus is there and shoot, or go to where the bus parks when it's done with the daily rounds and stage a shoot there, have your model face the camera, use other light sources or wait until the lighting is more balanced to shoot.
I understand that LITERALLY she IS waiting for the bus here - but that doesn't necessarily make this a good photo - the more elements you can control the better your photo will tell the story.
I hope that's helpful. If you already know all this sorry to be redundant. I just like to explain and hopefully be helpful when I give low scores. 2
