I'd certainly work on it a bit and see how it does.
Thanks, Bruce. The tilt thing has been dealt with (although you may still prefer the bus straight and the real horizon tilted - which is fine by me). IIRC, the bus was from a Baptist Church, and all the bus riders were black, so I'm guessing they were on an excursion. That's why I called it Bus Trip. I think had I the chance to widen the angle a bit and hopefully get the name of the church on the bus in the photo, it would have added something (Shel mentioned a wider angle view, too). It certainly would have given a bit more context, but as I said, it was a one shot deal, as the light turned green just after I shot. Thanks for your comment - glad it works somewhat for you despite the technical flaws. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
