Nice street candid (or candid-style). The off-centre composition, with the right side offering a clearer view of the yellow cabs behind, works. Not sure about the cropping of his head but perhaps it does make us feel a little closer in to the messenger rather than viewing from a distance?

Why is the head cut off... ?

I like this very much, but I would have cropped other way. IMO it would be better with the whole bicycle and the whole head of the biker. Perhaps you cropped this way for other reason.

like the job is not dangerous as it is, lets where an Ipod, oh my.

Nice shot, he is either giving you a nasty look or seeing if a taxi will run over him. : }

A very brave man, just look at all those taxis waiting to get him ;-) shame you chopped off the top of his head

I think that this would be stronger if you'd gotten all of the bike and rider in the frame ... like the colors and it's nice and sharp ...

I like the position of the rider and the yellow cabs in the background, but maybe if the subject was not cropped out of the picture it would have been better

Too bad he is cut off a bit. if you could have had all of him and the taxi on the right it would have been great.

Aim up! You cropped his head. Interesting idea to use the messenger on a bike, but the image is rather 'ordinary'. Maybe include him weaving in traffic or something to give some feeling or context to his actions.
