This is a photo I took recently enough. What I like about is how your eyes get drawn to the yellow taxi. Despite being quite a busy with all the lines and leaves there is a certain kind of calmness in the shot. What could make this shot better for me is if there was just a little bit more going on around the taxi maybe someone getting in or out. I'd be curious to here your thoughts.

Camera: Minolta CLE

I agree. I feel like there isn’t anything for my eye to anchor on and draw me into the photo. It’s got some interesting stuff going on - but maybe a new crop would help.

Also agree on the saturation and contrast being too high. It’s blowing out the details of the building texture.

Appreciate this, I tried a different crop and it's a bit better indeed, might rescan in the weekend if I have time to see if I can get a bit more out of it.
