 I know I posted it here before but here's that KiH video:

Yeah, I considered cropping a bit more of the black suv out but I couldn't 
figure out how to do that without ruining the balance of where everything else

Thanks for the complement and constructive criticism, and thanks to everyone 
else who looked and commented.

Cheers,

Very nice capture. Captures the intensity of the moment.
If it were mine, I'd cropout the back of the vehicle in the Right side.

Frantic action well caught. Extreme motion, especially that of the bus, is 
a critical element.
