GREAT IDEA, but you have too much in the shot IMHO. If you would have cropped landscape style just about the rear disc and just below the back tire you would have a much simpler composition. Also, is this your bike? If so you shoulda arranged it so you didn't have such distracting objects so close to the end point of your leading lines. (the barrels and other bikes...)

This works really well in black & white as far as I'm concerned. The texture and detail speak for themselves.

Beautiful bike, very elegant bike shot. The trash can is a tad intrusive...but overall well done, interesting perspective photo.

excellent leading lines - the pipes lead the viewers eyes into the photo and that sproingy thing catches your eye and brings it back for another look - a useful thing especially in the speed challenge where one the eye gets led off the edge of the image the brain sayd "Done, nest picture please"

I think in this challenge the line in the picture should be a dominent aspect in the picture. With this, I just think the exhaust does not really draw the viewer anywhere. The pipe ends on both ends and doesn't direct you anywhere. Great composition, I just don't think it fits the challenge well

clean and crisp. almost too crisp as the background and grass are a bit distracting. you seem to have gone half-way with the shot. your too close to enjoy the whole bike but not close enoth to enjoy an abstract of leading lines. i'm wondering what it would have looked like with the camera right up against the pipe looking down toward the front wheel (if possible turned out to see the rim)
