This photo has some real interest all that rust really adds some character. The rust also shows that this was a find, and not just thrown in the water for a photo. I like found photos so much more that staged photos. I don't like the tree reflections though, for me I find them too much of a distraction from the good stuff.
I like this a lot, my first impression in the thumbnail was there was a mini-football style helmet (which turned out to be the pedal of course...)
With the rust on the spokes, I'm thinking this was not a setup shot, which means that someone was very observant (and may have a much better memory than I do...) and used two images (not two separate pictures), that when combined give a sense of place and time that either by itself would make an interesting but not compelling picture.
