[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The red tram (obviously a Ferrari) is ahead on the straight but the yellow Renault is taking the last curve and preparing to accelerate.
Maybe the red counts with some help of the FIT (International Federation of Trams) and the driver is quite unfair but though this, the yellow has still a chance.
This is the low and flat part of the circuit. Reading the name on the red tram "Colinas de Lisboa" (Hills of Lisboa) we must expect a hard ascent to these bended slopes. Maybe our yellow favorite can find his victory there.

Hi Clemente.
Good looking shot, with the racing trams, nice story you made for them. I think the shot is a little bit bright, so I would consider tuning it down a bit. I would also crop the left green post.

Regards

Cato

Olà Clemente, an original and funny title for an original and absolutely well done picture.. excellent the crop and the POV.. BRAVO!!!

ciao,
Fabio.

Nice shot, Clemente, and a funny note, especially taking into cosideration they are on the same track...;))) I like the colours and your vertical framing.

Cheers
Alexander

Bonjour Clémente,
Je m'éloigne de l'écran pour ne pas me faire écraser par ce tram :-))
Belles oppositions de couleurs et une bonne composition permettent de profiter pleinement de spectacle. Merci et bon week end.

Hi Clemente,
A well chosen POV for this shot. Yellow building in the background and tracks making a curver. In addition you were lucky the get both trams so well positioned. Funny one.
