I find myself feeling as confined as he does. It a cool setting and nice treatment, but something just doesn't work in the composition for me. I think it's those branches in the upper right corner. Perhaps pulling in from the right to lose those foreground branches (4:5 crop)? This also puts the biker off center and gives him somewhere to "go" in the shot besides forward. I'm not a strict rule of thirds guy, but I think this shot would have really benefited from having him closer/on a right 3rd line. Still a 7.

Those heels would have certainly sunk in the dirt. ;)

Flowers are just a little too washed to be believable in the same scene.

Overall, a nice shot... nice composure, meets the challenge well, etc. I'm not crazy about the sepia toning, though. Sepia is a great tool for shots that bring memories of days gone by, but I don't quite get how it adds to this shot.

This is fascinating. A unique perspective and fabulous technical control. I'm not sure why the purple seems to work, though. But it does, so... I'll just live with it and enjoy.
