    A warm bus stop

    A candid shot while stopped in traffic.I shot this thru a sunroof. I felt there was a potentially interesting mood here.The guard rail kind of messes things up.
    Best view the larger res. version. In my gallery. Your thoughts welcomed.

    Re: A warm bus stop

    I'm trying to figure what to say about this one and the mind is blank, there is nothing I can think of to turn this into an image that I would like. My problems;

    1) The sky color is just too drab.
    2) The lettering and the poles in the center of the image seem to be tilted for no good reason. Easy to fix though....
    3) It is very hard to make out the people in the bottom of the image behind the slatted wall.

    The only thing of interest to me that you could work with is the poster on the far lower left which has some attractive qualities but it is so far away from the center as to seem an after thought.

    OTOH I sure would be impressed it you reshot or recropped this and came up with something special.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    The more I look at this ...Now, I realize how accurate your critique is.I appreciate that.

    I was drawn to the advertisement as the "warmth" This was at night, I used Iso 1250 to grab the avail light.
    Maybe someday... A poster close up / W/A and bright blue sky

    Thanks again.
