I really enjoy this image. It is certainly decay, but is it urban? I am not as convinced by what I see. It may or may not be urban. This is, however, one of my very favorite of this week's images.

looks like you were working with difficult shadows and lighting, but that makes some of this shot very over-blown, and others a tad dark. This also says "vandilism" more than decay.

Nice job. The smashed-out windshield is a nice touch.

Good subject. Rated lower on quality because the sky is blown out and grainy. I also think a different composition with this would have given it more impact. Perhaps a little to the side showing the bus and building, eliminating the other truck and buildings on the left.

Thanks for the comments, this was taken on an old Zenit 11 on HP5 on a very bright day - quite difficult to get a good metering - and I don't like to use things like noise ninja etc on stuff I've shot on film ... for me the grain added to the overall effect ...

With the composition - I was attempting to get a 'funnel' sort of effect with the building on the right and the trailer on the left ... the fire engine then adding weight on the right kind of making the shot slightly unbalanced?
