Taken through sunroof of my car as I drove to work -- I couldn't resist. I know it doesn't really fit the contest, but I figured people might get a kick out of it, so here it is anyway.

Only edits were cropping, levels adjustment, and addition of border.

Cool looking bus. It is a great subject for a photo. If you'd found it elsewhere than on the highway you might have had more time to think about composition. Perhaps this odd bus rendered you speachless, but I don't think it really fits the challenge.

How does this fit the category? Total lack of words?
07/18/2004 06:33:58 AM
Oops, did you misread the challenge criteria. It would have also helped if the photo was rotated a little to the right.
07/18/2004 04:17:27 AM
words?
07/16/2004 03:46:38 PM
Hmmm, an old bus. Don't see how this meets the challenge of "words"

A bit snap-shotty, but an interesting image of an ancient subject. Even though your title hints of a connection, I'm not sure if this will win the Words challenge.

I am speechless. There are supposed to be words.

I can't make out the words.
07/15/2004 04:22:30 PM
Not sure how this was meant to mean the challenge, and the bus isn't even that tatty, That'd be a tidy mobile home in some parts of New Zealand :-).

where are the words???
07/15/2004 10:50:45 AM
That bus has seen much better days.
07/14/2004 09:32:49 PM
I dont see how this goes with the challenge
07/14/2004 09:17:03 PM
hmm- i'm guessing you took this pic of this cool old bus, got home, saw the challenge, had nothing that met the catagory of words, so you used the picture of the cool old bus and used the title "speechless" in order for it to count? Am I right? I agree, it's a cool old bus- but it's not speechless, and it has nothing to do w/ the catagory. 2. SOrry ;)

there are words but can't really read them ... don't know how they add to the composition...
07/14/2004 07:48:51 PM
no words.
07/14/2004 04:57:12 PM
sorry I don't get it.
07/14/2004 04:56:33 PM
Doesn't meet the challenge
07/14/2004 04:42:04 PM
"Take a photograph where complete words -- not just individual letters -- play a creative role in your composition."

Where are the words and how do they play a creative role in this photograph?
07/14/2004 04:20:35 PM
I don't get it. IMHO does not meet challenge criteria.
07/14/2004 04:01:34 PM
Too bad this is also wordless, as far as I can see. Though the back of that bus is quite eerie looking!
07/14/2004 02:37:21 PM
where are the words?
07/14/2004 02:25:06 PM
words? 4
07/14/2004 01:44:58 PM
I guess there are words on the street sign at the left of the image - but the idea of this competition was to have words as the focus. This seems like a snapshot of a dirty bus.
07/14/2004 12:47:14 PM
where are the words???
07/14/2004 10:42:01 AM
Says it without any words, nice interpretation
07/14/2004 12:48:43 AM
why Speechless ?
