I'm not fond of where you placed the focal point. I believe the wheels should have been the focal point, or at least the focus should have led you to the out of focus wheels. They are also too high and too far left. A better crop is needed.
This shot appeals to me (I hope to others as well) as it has a B&W watercolor feel. The reflections in the water and the placement of the wheels are well done. The blurriness in all but the far background set the mood (the two poles detract from the shot)
I like the composition fo the pic. The flow from bike to reflection is really nice. Perhaps a little less empty foreground near the bottom, but that's minor. 10
Like the point of view and the choice of subject. I think the reflection of the statue detracts, though. Not sure, but it might be better with a greater depth of field to bring the bike tires into focus. B&W appropriate for the subject.
Probably the most "artistic" of all the challenge entries. I really like this, but I am afraid you took a big risk, and other voters might not see the absolute beauty in this photograph. Well done!
very nice. i saw this photographer (i'm sure one of you can name him) that would take shots of reflections, but present them in his book right-side-up. the effect was pretty neat. some of them were very low distortion...just enough to make the image surreal.
