I like the scene and the idea, but the lighting is completely wrong.

I kind of like the lighting, it reminds me of an old barn we had growing up.

Canon 7D | 50mm f/1.2 | 17-40mm f/4 | 70-200mm f/2.8 | 320EX | 580EXII

Please allow me to clarify: the lighting in the barn is fine. It's the lighting on the bike that does not match that of the barn. The angle, intensity, and sharp shadows on/of the bike don't make sense to my eye.

I think that successful composites require matching lighting.

I agree with Gary, but wrong as it is, it kind of works with me.
