The colors are nice, and the background works well. The background is underexposed, and the foreground seems to have a spot of light rather than a nice filling light. The focus is also a bit off.
This title reminds me of the one eyed one horned purple people eater. Were the people purple or was the people eater purple. It took a picture to answer the question. This bike is the most rusted bike I have ever seen. Nice lighting and beautiful setting with lovely spring blossoms, rocks, trees, and woods subdued but not lost in diffusion. I hope a lot of the other entrants study this picture.

I like how the flowers are in the background. It adds a very pleasant touch to the photo. However, I have to ask: did you use the flash? If you did, you probably should have waited until the sun was out to get a picture that was better lit. It is a very nice photo, however.
