...from Critique Club...

Hi Tom

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Very nice. :)

COMPOSITION:
A bit centered, but it works. It could be that a bit more space in front of the car would give it 'room to drive into'. I am not sure about the car seeming to be going 'downhill' :|

TECHNICAL:
Perfect. The focus on the car is very nice. Your panning technique worked nicely (even though the car is a tad blurred :) I wonder if bit longer exposure would get a better effect...hard to do if you are doing it hand held. :)

ARTISTIC:
Tom, I must admin that this is not an original shot, IMO. BUT...I think you did a better job than most would. The colour of the cab contrasting with the 'blueish' road works nicely.

OVERALL:
A strong image that could easily appear in an ad for 'Crazy NY taxi drivers....glad to see a nice finish of a photo taken with the same camera as mine :)

Best of luck in the future. Don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions about this critique.

Cheers...zadore.

panning is good but maybe you should have used a larger DOF to get the whole car in focus?

I like the panning effect. You did a good job with that. I know how difficult it is to get the subject sharp. -stephan

Doh! Rotate it to the left a few degrees!! Nice picture.

Wonderful colors and very good sense of movement. I think that panning was esecially effective here.

ooo almost caught the cab stopped with the back blurred... maybe more attempts would have yielded the "perfect shot".. good try though with panning technique
