 Well, Street Photography is my field, so when I saw this challange I jumped right on it. I actually submitted 2 other shots. On the last night of submissions, I was out doing my thing as usual and figured I would get some cab shots. This was my final choice.

This shot is handheld using ISO 800. For the blur I used about a second exposure time. I snapped and followed the cab.

I really don't know how people will rate this. Personally, I think this photo is the definition of street photography.

Regardless of how it scores, its a great photo, and I plan on selling this with my other shots.

I like it, don't let the score bug you.

I guess the blur was too much for peoples liking, but that was the point of the photo. I had to capture the speed of the cab to make the point. A cab standing idle wouldn't have done good for me. In any case, I understand the low scoring compared to some of the other shots.

Well, I'm not sure how this will fare with voters overall, but I quite like it. I mean, the blur is perfect here. You can obviously tell what it is, but the blur gives this great sense of motion, of the fast city night pace, you know. Good comp, simple, yet to the point. Well done for me.
