Well, if the bicyclist is the main subject of the photo, I'd have thought he could have made it a bit sharper. Perhaps if he'd have panned? Or, maybe a faster shutter speed would have frozen him. As an added bonus, his aperture would have opened up a bit, blurring those distracting stairs and railings a bit. Speaking of the stairs, I think if he'd have zoomed in a bit on the cyclist, he could have eliminated them altogether. Then, maybe his cameras AE would have been able to better deal with the exposure of the cyclist, which is a bit dark, to my eye. All in all, however, a good attempt, and I think if he works a few of those details a bit, Mr. Bresson may become a fine photographer someday, just like Kenny Rockwell is.
