    It seems a little too busy to me. What was your thoughts when you took this picture?

    Re: the junglebus

    i was photographing for a theme; urban jungle.

    i wanted to have both city and plants in the picture, and thought that a green bus would be perfect.

    i like how the bus is camoflaged

    Hello Hardmongo,


    I think the railing is too distracting and bisects the picture uncomfortably. Your concept is intriguing but I don't believe this image is carrying it out for you so well. Hope that helps.

    I agree with CLKunst, the railing is distracting...
    and all the trees and bushes and stuff are a little much for me... I dont know, Im not too attracted to this shot...

    All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.

    Re: the junglebus

    I get the feel you were going for, like shooting from the jungle into the city, spying the bus on the road. The railing is a bit distracting and the distance between the camera and the plant-life seems to add distraction.

    A little change in composition and the idea could produce a great photo.

    / Get it framed right and plan an accident in the gap *THAT* would be an urban jungle shot for you.

    I'm going to have to agree with you on this, and it's to busy also. I think a wide angle with half street and half woods????

    what do you think?
    I am somewhat attracted by the lines and the shapes in the upper left corner but as a whole, this photo doesn't works for me as it lacks direction. I don't know what to look at.
