Student photographer's analysis of the photo:

I like this picture because it shows how much I like bikes. It also reminds me of when I jumped a hill and destroyed my bike and just left it there like this person did. Bikes make me happy because they are good transportation. I also like the mix of the colors of red, yellow, blue, and the black tires. The chain that helps the bike move is really rusty and broken. The person who dropped it must have left it there a long time ago because of its condition. I also like the reflection in the water. There are also a lot of clothes and shoe laces on top. The bike is also a bike with good wheels for off road. The tire also looks flat. It looks like if someone was racing on it and messed up and crashed down, or the owner of it just didn't like the bike. The shadows of the trees make it dark compared to how bright it is outside. It also looks like if that big rock is about to fall on the handles. The back tire is probably flat from the compression of the rock. The bike also reminds me of how much time I use mine and if I'm not careful, that's how my bike will end up too.
