Aw thats so sad a graveyard for the coaches, bet they could tell a tale lol!
Guy Dube27-Oct-2007 15:52
Nice shot, I like the subject! V
Cindi Smith27-Oct-2007 02:52
Well done.

Poignant image - I find it disturbing to see anything derelict that was made new in my adult life!
Johnny JAG26-Oct-2007 18:20
I hear Tottenham have just retired a coach too.
Bob Floyd26-Oct-2007 16:25
Excellent work. Love the choice not focus on the subject.
J. Scott Coile26-Oct-2007 14:40
Soon to be overtaken by time, vandalism, nature... Nice Ray!
Carinoza26-Oct-2007 05:39
The passing away of one (fading image in the b/g) on the other hand brings forth new life (focused image on the f/g) ... Great idea!
carolynne_w26-Oct-2007 04:46
Out of focus, out of service. Nicely done!
Roe..26-Oct-2007 03:01

Guest 26-Oct-2007 01:32
excellent POV.
Faye White26-Oct-2007 01:09
wonderful pov... the coach appears to be fading away

Beautiful shot reminiscent of urban decay (although I'm sure your urban isn't decaying).
Guest 25-Oct-2007 22:09
Actually I find this a bit disturbing - like someone lurking in the bushes waiting for someone to get off the bus... And it's better for it - top photo!
Guest 25-Oct-2007 22:01
Excellent shot of that great garage in the sky, Ray!!Like the sensitive use of selective focus!
Michael Shpuntov25-Oct-2007 22:00
Great composition Ray. Shifting focus from the main subject actually telling great story of abandonment.
Phillip Normanton25-Oct-2007 21:54
A bit like the elephant graveyard. Nice colours :)
Bill Ewart Jr25-Oct-2007 21:31

Guest 25-Oct-2007 20:14
Awesome focus. Love the mood.
Matylda Lempel-Chareza Photography25-Oct-2007 19:01
clever idea
Ann...25-Oct-2007 18:38
I guess this is the best way to view these poor old things! Excellent dof.
Guest 25-Oct-2007 18:33

Aw sad... love your focus on the foreground here!
Paco López25-Oct-2007 16:58
Great image!!! V!
Máire Uí Mhaicín25-Oct-2007 16:55
This is great! You give the abandoned object a shade of its former dignity by the selective use of focusing.
Guest 25-Oct-2007 16:32
I like this a lot, Ray
nice work
beverley harrison25-Oct-2007 16:19
love your focal point ray, well spotted!
Zak25-Oct-2007 16:14
The wheel-less-ness!
Guest 25-Oct-2007 16:12
nice curtain of weeds, bet they will grow all over the coach soon.
