Hey! At least he isn't telling you you're #1.

The BG above the cab is a little distracting but could easily be fixed in post. It's too bright and not oof enough which draws the eye.

I don't know why but I almost want to see the entire door/window and rear mirror. Did you clip them on purpose to get a tighter image of your main subject?

Just my .02 from a non-street shooter. But I am a straight shooter.

Hi Dave and agreed that you are a straight shooter!!

You're right about the bright background and I'll attend to that. It pulls the eye away from where I want it to be. The shot was a quick grab. In fact, the driver pulled his hand in and out of the window a couple of times. I may have another photo with more of the rear view mirror.

Good capture.
Agreed about BG brightness. I would also suggest you reduce the saturation in the BG. Keeping the yellow cab a saturated yellow works as part of the context. I can relate.

Agreed with all the above. Also, while your adjusting the background brightness and saturation, I would suggest trying to drop the color temp of the BG just a bit to better complement the cool blue of the taxi blacks just to see how you like it. The temp wouldn't need to be dropped much - just enough to take the foliage from a fraction on the warm side to a fraction on the cool side.

Looks better to me! And I like how to brought up his fist and arm. That really helps draw the eye and hold it there.

Can I toss one more simple tweak atcha? Maybe clone out those two bright spots in the BG?

There ya go!

Oh, and keep telling me I have a great eye. It might help me forget about my other "little issue" I have with them.

Definitely improved, Steve! For me it was bringing up the arm.

You could not pay me to DRIVE in NYC, much less drive a cab in NYC.

Cheers!

Improved but I would go even further with reducing BG saturation.
