Very simple and graphic image that fits the brief. Good diagonal composition use of the mudguard. The dominant colour of red gives great impact to this image. Sharp from front to back with no distractions. Could I suggest a darkening of the bottom left by use of a gradient in Photoshop or your editing programme. Well done.

The atmospheric feel to this images works well and gives a good feel and depth to the composition. A unique subject for this competition. The darkening at the edges and light centre help keep the interest in the middle of the photograph.

Wheels move and this images shows intended movement.I would suggest a crop to the left to remove number plate and darken down the yellow badge, bring in a slight dark gradient top and bottom to bring more attention to the wheel.

Great use of the shadow of the bike, with good contrast between the wall and bike. Simple shot. The simple composition always works with a judge as there is not much to go wrong if the composition is OK. Would have removed the white marks on the paving stones.

simple shot of a line of bikes with one out of line, obviously a creative eye. A couple of distractions for me are the pieces of white rubbish on the pavement these can easily be removed before or after taking the photograph. Take one shot quickly so you capture the image and them take a while looking around the picture for distractions.

Plenty of scope for diversity here, the wheels of a wrist watch, bicycle wheels, water wheels or the wheels of a steam engine. Wheels can be static or can be moving. Please make wheels the main subject matter and not just on a car in a street scene.
