That's an interesting point. Cropping, sizing, WHATEVER. If the intent 
was to create a tension that makes it look like the bus is a looming 
threat when it isn't is more dishonest than adding a bit to the corner 
of the photo.

As to the argument over certain words address to the quality of the 
photo, I liked seeing it for the sake of the discussion, regardless of 
its many weaknesses. It was a fantastic choice to spark a discussion.
