It's lacking negative space on the left.

It gives me the feeling that the bike stopped suddenly, jammed into the wall and someone hopped off and left it there - maybe that's due to the lack of negative space, instead of giving the bike space to move into it gives a different feeling. I like the balance or almost off-balance feeling to it.

As far as the HDR I've probably posted elsewhere I'm not a big fan of it, it seems more than just sharpening, to me it borders on over-sharpened. It's just my preference or style I suppose, one of those 'to-each-his-own' type things.

I'm not a fan either. This isn't real HDR, it's close enough though. It has an aggressive High pass filter on it as well in Soft light layer blending.

I can see where it could be used to get a particular look for a photo, more of a special effect. It just often looks overdone to me. I'd probably like this photo better w/out it, just depends on your preference.

I like the honesty. I actually have this shot done up better without this processing and I like it better as well.

I'm with Sharon on this one. Nice subject, and etc. but the processing isn't helping as much as it is hurting. Looks more like what someone would create using 3D software, than what was captured with a camera.
