 So off to the store I went. Ice cream was on my mind. I knew the walk would be brief, but I still grabbed my camera. Three minutes later, the ice cream was mine. Yes, strawberry. Leaving the store, I saw the bus approaching. I had always had good luck, getting shots of passengers. So I quickly dialled in my camera, for the extra light needed for the interior. As the bus pulled to a stop, my subjects came into view. The red light gave me two shots, then the bus pulled away. Yes, the ice cream was good, but the moment was better!
I hope you enjoy it too!

This made me stop & ponder what the situation could be here ... Is that young girl being reprimanded by her father? Or has she been abducted by a stranger ? What are those scratches on the window & how did they get there ? Your title adds to the mystery. Well done.

Astounding! The economy of pp adds so much freshness and authenticity. Top 5 of my favorites.

Wonderful! The spots on the glass are more authentic as tears than most of the realistic ones I saw in this challenge.

This has a creepy feel with the state of child predators this day. I'm sure it's completely innocent, but that's where my mind went.

I think the photo would have been better with just the little girl peering out the window. Love the clarity. Good luck.
