I find this photo interesting. Yes, the crop is a bit distracting. I'm wondering how this would look if it was cropped even more to show just the pedals forward. ??? Depending on resolution it may get a bit noisy...just a thought. Good eye for seeing the potential here. Good luck on your next challenge entry!
caveat: i'm a beginner. that said...i find the white too overpowering, the levels need adjusting i think, and the composition is a bit boring. like the cropping.
Image is too small, the bike in the background takes alot away from the shot as do the bungie cords holding the bike to the rail of the boat. I feel there is not focal point to this shot.
my goal is to comment on every photo in this challenge..heres urs..good luck..nice comp but glare from the white boat hurts this photo..maybe try to take one with the water as ur BG might help..IMHO
