Compositionally, the image is a bit flat/static. It "fills the frame" but seems a bit too tight to have the eyes "roam" any. Also, it isn't quite straight one so it feels tilted even though the words seems straight.

Technically, the colors are really good. That bright blue is a great attention getter and the yellow provides a nice contrast. Also, the focus and exposure looks pretty good, except that resizing may have left some artifacts around the tag and lights.

Overall, a "cheerful" shot that definitely meets the challenge. It just lacks the "sophistication" that some of the pictures at the top had.

If you have any questions, let me know, and best wishes to you in future challenges!

From the looks of those "rings" inside the bus, looks like they practice on the way to the competition.
Love the colors. (bump)

Crikey! No lack of pop here. A little over-saturated in fact. Great subject choice... and perfect rule of thirds!!
