Entry numero uno is Bus 850 on David Walsh Avenue. I hope this one passes the new rule.


Next up is Bus 415 on Curran Drive in Nicholls.

Photos 1, 2 and 3 do not prominently feature buses. Well over 65% of the area of those photos do not have any bus in them.

I'd say the bus quite easily takes up two thirds of the second photo. The third has bus infrastructure so I'm happy with that. 

And the bus is clearly the focus of the first one.

The rule says prominently but it doesn't specify any particular percentage of the photo that must be a bus. It's more that the bus is the focus point of the image. If that first photo was full of other goings-on I might say no, but it's a nice landscape with a bus in it.

If so required,  photo 1 could be cropped.
Also if a photo doesn't quite agree with you, then don't vote for it.

If the photo was 90-99% bus, then you would have boring photos of buses taking up the whole photo with no scenery.
