Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Anywhere in the U.S.A.

Let's go get lost
Let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun

These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for

So much as come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads
And let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's
More trouble than it's worth
In the sun

Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun

These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for

In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dory's got our snakefinger on
Now let us drink the stars
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Right here in the U.S.A

Let's go get lost
Let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for

I really like this photo.

Your composition is great. Your choice to go with black and white is great. Traveling by bus usually has this gloomy, desolate connotation; your photo expresses that very, very well.

I am sure you will get comments about the size, and while bigger is always better, this photo speaks strongly enough to me to give it a 10.

Keep shooting.

feels like a diary type of photo; a snap shot of real life and i appreciate that aspect of it. i really do like this, actually. it's intriguing and certainly thought provoking. i fear you'll get slammed a bit for this picture, though i hope i'm wrong. it's very photo journalistic too, and could be a good stock photo. and it's easy to put oneself in the frame; can imagine sitting there, hearing the bus noises and just gazing out the window. feels a very natural shot, actually. the b&w feels natural too. good luck - 9.

cool :) I wish you'd show the face a bit too. 6

Certainly meets the challenge. Focus on the person's hair is very nice but I'm not sure that what is captured here displays enough to be associated with a roadtrip by the casual viewer. The size is a bit small, but I do like how you can see through the window - which helps emphasize the subject. I do wish there was more to see here though as it is, the image doesn't hold my attention. Greater contrasts might help bring the b&w nature to a higher potential. I gave a 4

I like the idea but it's not very clear or sharp.

A little on the small side. I am a fan of black and white but this really does not do anything for me. I am not really drawn to a particular subject.

I can't really tell what the subject of the photo is...

in my opinion the out of focus seat in the foreground is too distracting. nice choice of black and white though!
