crop doesn't work. It's too confusing, as you have no real area of reference. I don't know whether camera was being held vertical, or horizontal, or diagonally. It may work if there was something of importance in all the open space, but all I see is tire tracks. It would be good for a beginning of a magazine article, as you could throw a title and some more words in the open space, but other than that, the crop doesn't work. it's always good to position the subject a bit off center to get that artistic appeal, but there has to be something else in the photo to catch your eye if you want to do that.
Funny, I like the composition... I think I'm slowly becoming one of those art critics that's seen all the classical, wonderful, beautiful shots too many times and am now selecting the ones that buck the trend. So I guess that makes me WEIRD!
I think the color and texture of the dirt is interesting and relaxing. The biker does seem to get lost in it a little, maybe if the biker was a little brighter it would be ideal with what you're trying to do. It's still very different.
