school bus by kali66

school bus

my get pushed challenge this week is to portray 'contradiciton'


whilst in town today I photographed the school bus stopped before us at an intersection, some of the silhouettes of the children really grabbed me when I looked at them at home, and I made a composite of these as a collage.
in the online miriam webster dictionary contradiction is defined as

a : a proposition, statement, or phrase that asserts or implies both the truth and falsity of something ( they are shots of the same bus at the same time, but as a collage, it is not really how the bus looked)

or alternatively

b : logical incongruity. ( the disparity between the reflections and the view through the bus, and the splicing of the pieces)


am I stretching it? probably!

I had another pic that more obviously showed contradiction but I didn't think it was as visually good as this one.

best viewed large to see the detail
@rachelwithey what do you think of my first effort? I will continue to think about 'contradiction' this week.
