[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A detail from the taxis of Funchal in Madeira Island. The colourful taxis immediately caught my attention when I arrived at this beautiful island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Its yellow color and blue stripes where to attractive and I thought I had to try something with them.
This is the result.

But there was a motivation and a thought in my mind when I was shooting this one, the work made before by our fellow member André Roberge aka InasiaJones it was his work and photos on several taxis of Metropolitan Cities which gave me the will of making this photo so I just can give him the credits and why not dedicate him this photo.
If you like this photo take a time and go into his page and have a look at his photos you surely will not give your time as lost.

Olá Paulo,
um detalhe bem legal esse das placas dos taxis, achei interessante essa luz verde pra sinalizar que ele está vazio, deviam fazer isso por aqui também.

Olá Paulo,
perfecta toma en plano corto de este elemento indicativo del taxi. Sus grafismo y la combinación del amarillo, el verde y el rojo dan mucha personalidad a esta imagen.
Me gusta el marco con franjas negras y el título que has añadido a la foto.
Una bella foto, amigo mío, bien vista y bien realizada.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hi Paulo,
the detail captured is effective and very well seen. Like the composition with the shining yellow of the top of the vehicle. The sharpness is impressive and the light is very well managed. Very good work!
Best wishes.

Paulo,
Nice catch of the detail.
I like the colors and contrasts here, the result is full of graphics and eyecatcher.
Regards,
JB.

Hi Paulo,

LOL! Thank you for your kind tribute... :-p)

As a matter of fact, the one you've catch definitely worth your photographic interest. These bright colours scream for attention and the way you've frame the scene offers a graphical interpretation. The tack sharp focus even present the small raindrops on the roof. The bokehed taxi in the background takes advantage of the repetition pattern. It's a real pleasure to see your work impeccably done.

From now on, I'm counting on you to chase taxi signs wherever you travel!

I've put your image in the "taxi" theme, as it deserves a place of choice.

Thanks!

André

Hi Paulo!

So unusual for you style, but equally impressive! Excellent "detail", magnificent composition and fantastic colours! Great tight framing! Congratulations!

Hercules

Boas Paulo,

Ora aqui está uma composição que gosto bastante pela simplicidade, pela cor e definição. Grande PDV.E notável desfoque pelo uso do f/4 que resultou na captura muito boa do reflexo sobre o amarelo.

Aquele abraço amigo,
Filipe
