I never did comment on this, but I gave this an 8. One of my favorite DPC images. Excellent example of timing to provide a classic photograph. I just wish I could see this bigger, mainly to get a good look at the boy's face. I had a look at your other images on your site and you have some very fine examples of photography. This is your only entry at DPC so you may never see this comment, but I hope you do - one day. Perhaps you'll make a poster from this, with this title (which I prefer over the one you had for it on your site) - I think it is a perfect fit. The only thing in this image I think might 'improve' on it would be a more refined crop to the left (and maybe the bottom), but minor and .. not sure as any adjustment might lose too much of the good context. Thanks for putting this on DPC. It's a classic, in my opinion.

Wow! Nice shot! The limitations of the use of colors to gray and yellows/red make the shot.

great capture, nice titleing, good color, great lines, nice dof, comp needs work, blacks need work, whites need tweeking, light flat, overall a good attempt

nice combination of dreadful boring gray and vibrant yellow.
The schoolboy in the backseat is a masterstroke.
I guess this is a photo that ppl either like (like I do) or don't like/get at all.

lol - yep the boy in the back of the bus sure loks longily at that sports car.
I like the low angle you shot this at. The curves of the bridge structure really pull this together.
