 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 |

		| 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 |
