Too much detail, too small a space. In a different media, this would probably be an awesome shot (8x10 for example). At 640 by what ever, it's just too damn busy...

I like the effect of small splotches of color in the mess of bikes. It's also an interesting contrast with the natural backdrop - this image has a lot of interest to me on that ground. Well done.
These bikes give the impression of a junkyard marring a beautiful river scene. On closer inspection, they are clearly not junk, and the picture takes on a jarring discontinuity.
I gave this a five. I think it has a lot of potential. I really like the composition for the most part. Unfortunately, the colors are rather drab where they should really be popping. There seems to be an awfully large expanse of overexposed sky taking up the top of the frame.
That *is* a new one: bicycles as texture! And that one red seat anchors it all, if only if had been a little higher up in the frame (and maybe loose some of the sky) the composition would be more balanced. 7
