Critiques [Translate]

even in thumbnail i already know that i would critique this photo, the panning with the four taxies, the excellent title, it was enough :)
now i see it in larger format, a good feel of speed, race... my only critique is that it would have been better with no blur on one of the cars, but i know it's difficult, and you had only one try possible here, the opportunity to have four cabs in the same line is not easy to find (no?)
cheers

Hi Jorge,

Funny, some kind of panning feeling going on here! I do like the 1/8 of a second effect, but at the same time I'd also would have liked to see that there would be something sharp here. Like perhaps the walkway itself. There now isn't really something to focus on specifically. But the bustling movement feeling is nice as well.
Thanks for sharing!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hey Jorge,
I like pictures that show motion. Your shot kinda reminds me of an IndyCar race ... Gentlemen, start your engines ;). Excellent composition with perfect light and great colors!!! Congratulations!!!

Hey, Jorge, your panning is getting better and better. Excellent how you got the four taxis all in a row, but staggered, and right on the crosswalk lines. Nice work! Best, -Hugh

hi Jorge,
I definitely like this one, the taxis do seem eager to start racing :) "decisive moment" indeed, even though NYC is full of taxis, you never get them when you need one, especially to have a photo like this one. I like a lot the strong sense of motion, very nice work.

with best regards,
Kristine

Very dynamic, perfect light balance and colours.
Compliments, chris

It's maybe a little too much blurry, but the racing mood is simply excellent. And shooting taxis in NYC is quite simpe, but having it well managed is not that usual. Excellent then.
