Taxi!, a photo from Valle del Cauca, North

Photographer's Note

San Cipriano is a small village located in the South of Colombia. The only way to access the village is by the long abanddoned railway. The peopel in the town have made these improvised carts to get from one town to another. They charge about $4 r/t to an outsider looking for a ride. Locals can just get on without paying.

Interesting phenomenon! Seems risky... sure it's abandoned?
Love this composition. Goos sharpness and color too.

Hi Mark,
Wonderful shot. The color combination is very strong, all the colors are very dense and go well together. I really like the composition with the railwaytrack curving away, DOF is very good for that end too. Very graphical picture that at the same time tells a story. Well seen and captured.

HI Mark

very nice shot with a good note to explain it

I like the colors and I see it a bit soft maybe a bit more sharp can improve it

Maybe it is just too late and I am too tired

A nice shot, really

Hi Mark,
very nice shot, I like the composition and the colors.
Good idea for using this abandoned railway.
Maybe the focus is a bit soft on the boy.

That's great TE stuff, both interesting storywise and a good clean image. Really learnt something new with your posting, thanks!

Did you go riding the cart, there could be some amazing image opportunities on it...
