This is my first submission but I have been reviewing the submissions on this site for some time. I can not tell you how impressed I am with the quality of the work.
I was in downtown Phoenix on Sunday and saw four of these buses lined up out outside the courts building. I guess they had a busy weekend.

I think that it would be safe to say that these guys have a busy weekend every week.
Welcome to the forum, Karen. Looks like you found a bus load of sin. I find it interesting that there are four visible boxes of latex gloves. It seems that sin is something that might be hazardous to the touch.

Great find and a crisp photo. It has a slightly bluish cast I think.
You could maybe correct that a bit, unless it's there for a purpose
of course. There's also some pincushion distortion, visible at the
bottom. Great title by the way. And welcome to the weekly
assignment!
Thanks for the comments. I did see the blue, not sure where it came from, and changed the color blance in my Nikon software. I do not have photoshop. I will try and move the blue down even more and see what happens. I am new at this and am not sure what you mean by pincusion distortion. Can you please explain.
Again, thanks for taking the time to help out someone new.

I think MarcR is referring to the horizontal lines at the bottom of the picture. They are slight arcs rather than being perfectly straight...but that might just be how the bus is shaped.
Karen, Just type "pincushion distortion" into Google. You'll get plenty
of explanation. The "other" type is called "barrel distortion" (lines bend
outwards). You get these distortions from wide angle (barrel dist.) or
telephoto (pinc. dist.) settings, usually on zooms I think. But, as Geoff
suggested, in this case it might indeed be the natural shape of the
bus.
