 This was one of the rare occasions on which I actually knew what I wanted to do for the challenge. But yesterday was the only opportunity I had to visit the place where they display this bus. Unfortunately the weather was awful, lots of noisy thunder, with the possibility of really dangerous lightning, so I was scared to spend too much time on the shot. If I'd have another few minutes I might have got one I liked better.

Update 19/1:
Thanks for the HM.

Out of curiosity I decided to make a second attempt a week later (during the voting period) using an ultra-wide non-fisheye lens, only to discover that there were a few bins standing right next to the bus, making it impossible to get a decent shot.

Congratulation for the top 5. Using a fisheye lens is perfect to make an emphasis on the wheel of the school bus. Excellent work
