Does is really lean like that or is it just distortion?

I love the composition, makes the shot a real eye catcher.

This is a pretty clever idea, and hammers the challenge piece. To really get the contrast message of the bike travelling the wrong way, I think you need just a little more motion trail behind the biker. As is, this is an 8 from me. Great eye.

Interesting colors to distract the eye from the extraordinary composition. Or is the composition detracting from enjoying the subtlties of the colors?

Comment by Dave Gordon:
Great composition and use of yellow, but I would have liked to see the cyclist sharp, rather than the people in the background. Possibly a faster shutter, a smaller f/stop or both would have gotten them all in focus, but if I had to compromise I'd choos the cyclist. Often when there's not enough light, I let the picture underexpose and then repair it in Photoshop using the levels or curves controls. You can get two (or sometimes even three) stops that way.

I really like the composition of this shot. I like the painted road marker fit nicely in the bottom right, and the blurred rider's jacket. I think the motion blur of the rider gives an interesting anonymity. The 3 pedestrains in the back give a feeling of depth.
