Good effort, but the smudginess in the sky gradient distracts.

I really like the colors on this shot but the light is not helping in my opinion. The left pedal and the white middle part of the bike are too bright and taking too much of my attention. There are dark parts and this gave a weird contrast in my opinion. But i think you did a good job at the composition at all. Good luck and sorry if i was rude.

I always love a bike pic. Sky seems a little smudgy in places.

Don;t like the flash at all in this. I hate flash, i'd give this a higher rating for competition, but flash kills it. Sorry, hope others aren't as bothered by it as I am.
