This bird’s-eye view of a bright yellow New York City taxi was shot from the top deck of an open-air tourist double-decker bus.
Strangely enough, I shot a similar image the previous day, with almost the same composition, but slightly tighter. This one gets my vote, however, because of the advertising slogan on the roof of the cab, providing an extra perspective.
I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F6.7, 1/250 sec, ISO 200, focal length 50mm.
