Really nice picture but think you chould croppe it a bit down so you get the hole bicycle a bit more.

And straighten it.

I think it is straight. Bike is vertical, the pump is vertical, the shed on the left and structure behind the tree are to. The whole thing is on a slope. IMHO the composition may just work for a random landscape. I am afraid bikes wheels were cut off during the shooting but I would rather sacrifice the top of the tree than that or would be much better to take several steps back (or use wider lens ) and include the palm tree on the right and much more of the tree on the left or take such an angle to eliminate them completely. Branches sticking out of the frame maybe not the best thing. Another thing, maybe more technical is somewhat low contrast. There are no true blacks and whites which makes the image a bit flat. It looks like the shot was taken during not only full overcast, but in strong haze.
Nevertheless I like the slow and quiet atmosphere of this picture. Post more of them here.

Look at the walls of the buildings in the background. Walls don't lean. Look at the people walking down the road. People don't lean downhill when they are walking, they unconsciously lean back so they stay vertical. Look at the foundation line of the ruins right in front of the people camera left. Foundations don't lean.

I think you are right Scott.
