Cute idea. I'd like to see this with the woman's face on the right cropped out. She is the only woman I can see, and I find it distracting. Better none than one, if the subject is the frame and the bike. Great exposure and tones.

This has a great deal of appeal. The clarity is all around excellent; many interesting textures are visible throughout the image. The contrast is just right. Lovely!

This to me is a great (though not original) idea that has not been executed as well as it could have. Why do I say that? Because, if one uses a frame to highlight a segment of the overall image, there should be some discernable compositional strength to what is included within that frame. Whilst I like the inclusion of the bike, and it's lower left position within the frame, I really dislike the inclusion of a series of anonymous legs. I also don't like the way the curb fights for attention with the left vertical of the frame. I also can't see that what is outside of the frame adds much to the image - those women at the right are quite distracting. I think it would be nice to have the frame used to isolate one small detail or scene (the bike would work) within a larger scene (the street) but ensure that interior and exterior both had interest and strength. If this doesn't make sense, just drop me a line, though I'm offline for a week so don't be upset if you don't get an immediate response. :o)

Might seem a bit obvious for the challenge....but I think it works incredibly well and the fact that you see the person holding the frame and the people in the street just adds to the effect. I love how the line of the kerb runs all the way up the frame.
A nice touch keeping the price tag on..judging from the style of the 1`s, this is somewhere in Europe...France or Spain ?
Excellent work...9

This is an awesome idea and shot. I think a bit closer cropping would have really made it though. You could have cut out most of the overexposure at the top and the women's face to the right which draws away from your subject and doesn't add anything. Great job.
