    I don't quite get how the title is related to what is depicted in the photo. I like the composition and the mood. I don't know about the bottom right hand corner though.

    Really like the bottom half but I'm not sure the top half adds too much to this image.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Nice composition. I like the circles of the wheels against the squares of the rest of the shot. I think the title makes little sense ...nothing tells me this is an old shop - other than you in the post. I would go with something like "left behind" or "rainy day" or some such. Also, there is too much vignette that takes all the detail from the front left wheel ...when the subject is this close to the corner, I would be very careful with the vignette.

    Thanks guys the title is confusing, was going to go as simple as "Bike in Window" I saw it as a bike in a storefront that got left behind, A bit of a stretch I think Thanks again

    Good eye to see this.
    I, too, think the top could be cropped a bit above the light area. I also think the front wheel is too close to bottom right and would like more room on that side. Not knowing what's there, though, it might not work.
    Tittle maybe not right but I try not to expect anything form titles and often wish people did not title their photos as it leads to expectations before one even looks at the shot.
    My mind would go on its own journey if I opened this dark shot of a bike in a broken window without the title.
    Keep Shooting!

    Seems like two images connected. Throws me a bit. I wish the bike was better illuminated, seems a tad too dark to make out much detail. I think it's artsy in many ways. Try a monochromatic.
