A repair joint where cyclists' wheels call home

5. Fits the theme well enough, and there are no blatant 'you suck!' flaws to it, but neither does it really grab me for any reason at all. For reasons of composition, cropping, or subject choice, it's just a photo, and doesn't do especially much for me, aesthetically.

The deeply-saturated color everywhere but in the flashlight beam makes the rest of the image recede, blending into itself muddily, and what's framed in the white light isn't compositionally coherent. Maybe a little more post-camera tweaking to adjust the color/contrast might have made it pop more.

May I suggest I syntactically correct title: "A Repair Joint Cyclists' WheelsCall Home". Still, a complex title...

The light, except for the flashlight near the wheel, is too unnaturally red. Otherwise, this could be a reasonable study, given the attention of the onlookers.

An interesting shot, but the link to the theme seems rather stretched.

The overall photo is too dark for me to tell what I'm looking at.

Good subject, bad lighting. I always love people shots but the lighting could have been so much better for this one.
