Wow! It is so well balanced. Each little detail has its own place to make this picture a beautiful piece of art. The sky, the vegetation, the soil, they all tend to the main subject, subject that forces the introspection.
Irish, I really like how you processed this photo to draw attention to your two main subjects. That certainly is a large "pick of litter", almost weighing the bike down I would think. Neat how it's balanced from one side to the other. Artistically rendered... and a unique subject choice. Nice image. MFC
