    Don ...

    Your title puzzles me. "Odds and Sods from the Bus"

    "Odds and Sods" was an album by the Who (I think) but what does it mean in this context?

    Thanks

    The second and third image catch my eye the most. Love the sliver of brick and ground encasing the graffiti.

    Second is my favorite I think. Love the contrast of the plant and the urban surroundings. Love the close composition, the sun hitting the plant makes it pop out from it's surroundings even more. Almost looks like a painting.

    Thanks Flyer. That's how I felt when I saw it.

    WOW, who are you and what did you do with the Don Schaeffer who used to post here?

    I like each one better in order of 1-4.

    That last one really has potential, I'd try lightening it just a bit and increasing the saturation.

    I also like the composition of the flowerpot and pole although it looks like the wall is the focal point and the flowers are not quite sharp. You did a nice job segmenting the frame.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Thanks Don

    Now the light goes on.

    BTW - I really like the 2nd and 4th a lot.

    But ... as MB1 pointed out ... they sure are not the subject matter
    I am used to seeing from you. Very nice.

    Don

    I love the title! It fits the content perfectly.

    Each image is unique - creative - sharp - great color. This really works as a series - artistic and simple.

    I love the title! (did I say that already?)

    Great job.

    Liz
