I like it.

Thanks, glad you like it.

This month's winner so far!

Thanks for the compliment, hanamj.

Nice use of DOF, what were you using? mike

I used the Olympus E-620 & 14-54mm II F2.8-3.5

Very nice!

Thanks, my fellow canadian.

Cool idea. Have you tried this in a b/w conversion?

No, I didn't do a b&w because I wanted to keep the taxi recognizable.

Nice shot and good fit for the assignment

Thanks Einar.

The blur looks a little too fake, but nice color and concept.

I'm not sure I understand you. I didn't do anything to the blur though.

The sharp regions are oversharpened, and maybe that's responsible for it-- hard to tell at this size. It goes from crunchy-sharp to blurry in a single pixel, which would be impossible in an unaltered photo even at this size. See the sharpening halos around the plant, etc.? I always use selective sharpening, but sometimes you need to use more finesse. In any event, it is a nice photo, it just looks a little weird because of the border between the sharp and blurry regions.

Thanks for the explanation on sharp and blur. I edited the pic again.

Oooh, I like. I know what I'm voting for.
