Greetings from the Critique Club!

Love the colours of the bright signs contrasting with the rust and evident wear on the bikes and pieces of all sorts. Good use of ambient light. Beware of long exposures when there is glass or any kind of reflective surface, though, because that will create a hotspot which is distracting.

You don't want needless distractions with a shot like this, that has a jumble of subjects to look at - all the bike parts and then the signs and window to the right - can get the eye going all over the place and leave the voter wondering what they're meant to be looking at. I would suggest cropping from the top edge of the windowframe, the part closest to you, and making a square crop of this image instead. Yes it does crop out part of the street sign saying Cleveland, but we can still read enough of the lettering to make it out.

Hope this helps,

Susan
