Some rather nice photos there, in particular the first of 390, 467 and 963. I also quite like the shot of 844, if only because I used to catch School Bus #9!

To give some constructive criticisms, however, it is a good idea to be selective with what you post. Blurry photos are generally not ones to post unless they are showing something major - I would have excluded the photos of 943, 363, 908 and the shot of the front of 969.

Another note would be not to post more than one shot of a bus in the same location - you've posted three shots of 390. The first is great - nice angle, bus in frame. The two that follow are still decent but probably unnecessary. Same deal with the photos of 339 - the middle one is best, so the other two are probably unnecessary.

Finally - not a total necessity but always nice to have the whole bus in shot.

By posting just a selection of the best photos, you'll have a shorter thread and people are more likely to view all of the photos.
