I just have one question. Why do the texture the seat covers? :) They haven't changed since I rode in one when I was a child. Nice way to capture childhood. I can't believe they actually let you in there. My bus driver was strict.
Interesting photo, and unusual to be taken from inside a bus with the windows framing the exterior part. Slightly too dark inside for me, but I imagine it would have been too overexposed outside if it had been adjusted for inside? 7, Kavey
interesting view point. I ight have positioned the other bus a little differently in the windows, but that's me. I like the use of monochromse here. The texture on the seat is a nice touch too. - 6
I never rode a bus to school so I am trying to read this photo just for it's merits as a photo and this is what I see......nice clear shot, The back of the seat is very detailed and the darkness at the bottom of the photo adds to the imagination of the subject, the B&W transitions the photo to invoke feelings of childhood memory in neither a positive or negative way. For me it just IS. The view through the window remains clear and creates a schoolyard atmosphere. There are no distracting highlights or shadows. The ROT is set up wonderfully. There is still something not completely satisfying about this photo and I don't think it has much to do with you as the photographer. Some improvements, (strictly subjective as a viewer) .......It might have been better if the background Bus was parked much closer, I'm not totally thrilled with the background content through the windows. =8 syamjonimi ;'-D
I like this a lot. The texture in the seat is great. I also like how you are looking out the window at another bus, just in case you couldn't figure out what kind of window you were looking out. I would like to see how it looked in color to see why you went with black and white for this photo. Great job and good luck in the challenge.
This is a great photo... I love it :) The black and white works very well also. The only critique I have is that I wish I could see just a little more detail inside the bus. Maybe a smaller aperture would have helped some, but it looks like you were probably already as small as you could go based on the clarity of the subjects outside the window :) Excellent shot :) = 9 - jmsetzler
I really like this one. It captures the theme well. Also like the B&W. A different angle that prevented cutting the top off of the other bus would be nice.
Very nice. I can't see how you could have "driven home" the idea any better.
I'm not sure I fully understand the rule of 3rds, but the front of the bus does sort of intersect there. The horizon is nice and straight. The angle is great. Bravo.
Great picture ! It's a pity the bus is cut horizontally by the window frame, but not knowing what the conditions were like, I guess it was the only angle.
