When taking pictures, always keep in mind what your subject is and then fill the frame with it. For this image you should have moved to the right (to remove the beetle) and closer (to fill the frame) to the subject.
nicely centered, although a minor detail, I like the way the picture cuts off the front of the beatle and the front section of the red car, to frame the bicyclist.
I think this shot would have been more compelling if you had lined up the cyclist along the left 1/3-line and included the entire beetle, using a tighter crip to fill the frame with the two.
Nice subtle use of humor. I think having the rider fill up more of the frame would have made it more interesting, although the blue bug gives it a nice color.
good shot.. I think maybe moving the camera a little more to the right and cutting out the front of the red car and the white truck.. and getting more of the blue beetle will really increase the impact.
I thought this photo was great because of the way you captured the man on the bike, with the upper class Beetle beside him. Suitable for the title given. Great work!!
