Greetings from the Critque Club!
Composition:
This is a stellar "newspaper" photo. Your photo really demonstrates the problems large cities have to deal with. Just a personal suggestion, I would've loved to see some exhaust coming out of the back of the bus as it pulled away from the curb. It would've really been a nice touch. A second suggestion would've been to get a "rush hour" look with the smog. Since public transportation is actually a way to decrease smog, not increase it. Not to say that's what you were trying to portray, but simply what would've added to this shot.
Lighting:
Your lighting is a little dark, chances are the camera over-compensated for the light smog at the top of the frame. If you can do exposure compensation on your photo, that would've helped it. I still like it how it is though.
Technical:
Your technique is sound. The over-exposing a hair would be the only thing I can recommend as that is concerned.
Post-Processing
The photo is in focus if only a little soft from the resize. Unsharp mask after resizing would've sharpened up your photo. (the bottom close stuff specifically)
You might also want to consider using a perspective adjustment. Since your wide angle makes the buildings lean toward each other. Getting them straight would be slightly more pleasing to the eye.
Overall:
I like this shot a lot. You captured this challenge spot on. With a little adjustment to your exposure, and minor editing I think you could've placed higher.
I hope you do better in the future. Keep up the excellent submissions. |

| Good shot, I think B&W would have also looked really good, if not better. 7 |

| Some areas of the photo looks underexposed. Especially for the building in the right. |

| Trouble with tall shots like this is that the perspective gets all warped. Perhaps a better title would have been "Leaning Tower in new location!". |
