Took this picture nearby a local railway station. Bikes get robbed quite often in there. Hope people understood the idea of this photo.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Fit: There is a bicycle in the shot so its meets challenge.

Composition: It feels fine, horizon is level, subject isnt centered. The bike rack on the right distracts a bit from the left of frame where we are supposed to be looking.

Technical: The longs shadows provide a nice emphasis on the bike. The mass of brown is a bit bleak feeling. Increasing the saturation or somehting on the pink may have helped draw the bike out from the browns a bit more (using selective colour not masking)

Feel: The image doesnt relly spek to me in the way that your notes say you intended.

PM me if you have any queries.

No real wow factor. Too dark in the foreground.

Nice caption! Would be better if the handlebars didn't disappear into the background.

could need some rethinking of composition and perspective to make the photo more exciting

I like the shadows and the lonely bike. Could be sharper.

Nice composition, evokes a feeling of aloneness, with the small bike vs the rest of image.

hmm i think that you need to crop out some of the background to focus on the bike
