Slightly crooked? I think less foreground and more focus on the background would have imporved this greatly.

This could have been a boring shot, but the way it was composed provides a lot to look at. Good colour, well-captured reflection in the water, and generally good crispness throughout.

CRITIQUE CLUE CRITIQUE

Interesting approach to the challenge.

Compositionally, I find this to be very static. It is 'flat' horizontally, and it is centered. While this can be effective in some situations, I think in this one, it is just "there" and doesn't add interest, context, or anything to compel the viewer to keep looking at it. I think perhaps turning it on a diagonal so that it "starts" in one corner and leads to the other would help a little bit. Also, if it filled up more of the frame, it might be a bit more interesting.

Technically, it is a very crisp image. The white background is very clean and clear of distractions. The colors are okay and the focus seems okay as well. To me, it seems to have the "edginess" that says "overprocessed" for whatever reason.

I applaud your willingness to approach the challenge from a different perspective. Eating healthy is definitely part of it.

If I need to further clarify or explain anything, please let me know.

Very interesting photograph. Takes a little while to find the bicycle, but in all, great use of creativity and angles.
