    I really like this. The orange seats do accentuate the image and bring a sort of warmth to the environment but what I like most is that the passengers all have a candid look about them as if they didn't mind that you were snapping their picture. Great image. Nice compositon too.

    Great candid shot. Love the colors here, yet the hot spot on the fellows face is a tad distracting, as with the washed out windows. Interesting yet very compelling shot,

    Priceless! Great title to an heart-warming image. I love the expressions and smiles all around!
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

    Tuna, you've done it again. Quit it, will you? You're making the rest of us look even MORE amateur.
    If I were to be forced to throw in a criticism amongst my glowing review, it would be to suggest that you add maybe another half stop of exposure. The exterior is already blown out so it's not like you're risking anything there, and the facial features of the gentleman on the right could stand to be brought out just a wee bit more IMO.
    Lovely shot.

    Hi Tuna,
    The colour, the sunlight, and the expressions deliver a very happy and warming feeling. I especially like the expression of the stranger.
    All the best.

    Smiling strangers in DC - that in itself makes for a great photo ;)
    I love the colors and the great expressions that you have captured. Your street photography always amazes me because of the great expressions that you seem to capture. This is something I haven't learned yet...I must be too slow or something.
    Do you use a rangefinder for most of you photography? What Lens?
    Great composed shot.
    Cheers.
    I'm always mentally photographing everything as practice.

    Yes, for most of my stuff - I prefer it. However, this was shot with my D70 and 12-24mm lens.

    Great shot. I love the elderly gentleman. He looks so excited to have been noticed by you. Makes me teary. Seriously!
