FIRST IMPRESSION: Good find and a good photograph!
CHALLENGE: Meets che challenge.
COMPOSITION: Composition is very good, I like how you placed the bicycle at the left side and included a long view of the sidewalk. It suggests the idea that there's somewhere interesting beyond to ride the bicycle. The shot does seem to be leaning slightly right though (it needs a slight counterclockwise rotation to be level I think)
TECHNICAL: All technical aspects are excellent. Black and white was a good choice to add an old-time feel and bring out the light and shadow.
CONCLUSION: A good, solid entry to this challenge.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!
The decision to go black and white gives this image an old fashioned feel to it. It's a humorous pic as well and one I would also expect to find on a postcard.
not to be confused with "rental bikes" ;) I like the starkness of the sign, and not sure if you intended it, but i also really like hte view down the sidewalk, has a very urban pedestrian feel.
I like the choice of b/w for this shot. I like negative space and lines, but I think in this case, the sidewalk probably leads the viewer's eye out of the shot instead of into it. The sign is a good find.
