I really like it too. I like the unconventional crop.

I'm still of the mindset that 'good' photos are formally composed, uber-sharp, etc etc. But seeing pictures like this helps me break out of that. It's a very powerful shot but it's one that I would probably overlook. I'm glad you didn't. :)

Very cool PP and texture to add to this shot. I think it makes it look vintage as if I were thumbing through some old photos. Great border as well, nicely done!

This is great processing suits the image very well. The texture does seem to have missed the end of the bus ,it seems a bit more new and shinier than the rest of the image.

I think this is great. No advice needed. Just let it (your process, etc) evolve however it decides to.

Great composition, full of interest. I especially love the inclusion of the trailer. The suggestions for deepening the tones to bring out more texture are good ones, although your processing as it stands lends the image a worn, vintage look which works quite effectively with the subject matter. Definitely looks like it could have been taken 40-50 years back in time.

Wow, thank you for taking the time. Very much appreciated. Out of the four I really like the film grain one the best and the vignetting that resulted from burning and dodging. The deeping tones brings a new perspective to it. I'll have to experiment in creating richness through depth and tone. Thanks for the visuals!
