Fit Challenge Criteria: 1/2
Contrast/Colors: 1/2
Photo Quality: 0/2
Composition: 1/2
My Subjective Affinity: 0/2

The setup is too plain, the shadows too harsh, the single green weed (?) on the right is distracting, as is the change in background from the dirt to wood.

Focus is a little off but I like the composition.

I like the cropping work you've done here, but it does not save the rim from being overexposed by at least 2/3 of a stop. The harshness of midday sun can sometimes work to your advantage, but I wonder if some softer, overcast lighting would have been better. Your choice of background and is superb and begins to tell us a story about the bike and it's roots. Perhaps including the legs of a young boy dressed in 50s and conversion to black and white would bring out the rustic feeling of the image. Good effort.

Other than the overexposure on the bottom rim, I like this picture.

colors are flat and the photo gives a washed out appearance.

Very nice building for the subject, but a different point of view would help remove the telephone pole from being dead center infront of the building, detracting fron the overall image. Also, a little bit of cropping on the right side to eliminate the distracting detail would help.

What a great subject to work with! The shot doesnt really jump out at me though, I think I would have liked it closer and found some character in the building.

I love the old building but it seems so washed out - maybe over exposed??
