Edited in Capture One Pro.

A nicely framed, well exposed photo. I usually post process to record the scene as it was........ So, some perspective correction and a bit of highlight and shadow recovery as there is a fair bit of dynamic range between the sun lit parts and the shadows..........

Competition is closed. Thanks to all who had a go.

The challenge here was to find an interesting way to portray an otherwise bland subject and photograph. It's interesting to me because that's how buses were painted in my area when I was 16, but to the casual viewer, it's just another bus.

3rd place, @kae1 entry 2 - a nice b/w
2nd place, @BosseBe entry 2 - selective colour
1st place and grand prize (invisible trophy) goes to @betamax - I liked the crop and special effects treatment.

Congratulations @betamax - you've won the right to host a new challenge.

Thanks Richard! I was hoping the frame and sunrays would do the trick! B/w, frame and effect done using Exposure X6. I won't tempt you with another high res file, so I'll choose the next picture very carefully

New challenge is up! Challenge! - Digital Darkroom Derby #77
