Shot in Quebec City, in the Petit Champlain area of the Old Town that sits at the foot of the legendary Chateau Frontenac. Quebec City is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. The town is really in a festive mood. If you have been waiting for the perfect occasion to visit this spectacular city, now is the time!

*Post Challenge: This is great! First top 10! I played with the angle on purpose here, to give the illusion of the bike being on the ground. Seems to have fooled some anyways ;-) I too wished that someone would have stuck his head out the window at that moment!
These bikes are everywhere in the Old City. Here is the original shot and an outtake:

What a surprise when my niece came from Quebec with a couple of pictures of this building...
Of course, not as fancy as this nice composition of yours, which already was one of my favorites here in this challenge. Well done!
I love your colours, your sharpness, the lighting - it's all excellent. My only issue is that I imagine the bike is on the side of the building, and given your composition / perspective, this doesn't appear to be this way at all. Maybe a different angle...?
Really nice shot. That said, the context, in your image, is such that it almost looks like there are windows on the ground. I'm wondering if shooting it from the side, rather than below, would have been a better choice as you could more easily see that the bike was on the side of a building. Just a thought but it really is a good shot.
Huh... very interesting... The bike's colour REALLY makes it stand out and made me stop and think for a second. I love the perspective and composition.
