In a sense, exactly what this bike is doing, as its owner had grown up at the location where I shot. However the family is moving in September, so I thought this a suitable picture.

Hey I also like the angle of this it put me on the level of the person riding the bike.

Me again from the C Club!!

I was one of your high voters in this challenge and here is why

I liked the POV that you had going on here, I like that you went from the ground up versus straight on. You took time out to look at your subject and knew it would need a different angle to make it work.

I think what is hurting it here is the crop, which could have been a lot tighter on the left hand side, to give it a right in your face look, the wheel that is cut off in the front and the darkness of the shot,

The pink is perfect, your sharpness is spot on, clarity and DOF is good.

Could use one of those classic bag of belongings on a stick (ala Tom Sawer) to connect better with the title. I like the angle of the shot.
