There is a lot going on in this photo. In my opinion, all the stuff detracts from the 'Branch'. Cropping might make it more suitable for the challenge.
I really like your take on this challenge. I closer shot/crop on the cycle and the river might have been better, because the background is full of distractions. Never-the-less a nice shot. Thanks for being different.
I would have cropped this much closer so you just have the motorcycle and the river. The background adds nothing to the picture. It looks like you have some nice water splashes around the wheels of the motorcycle.
There is a lot to look at here ... it feels like there is too much in the photo. Also, the centre composition of the bike and rider (with soft focus) really appears to be the main subject for rather than the river.
