Hi Dennis,
I think it's an excellent shot and just goes to show that with a little lateral thinking you can find potential pictures just about anywhere. The use of the the rearview mirror on a bicycle has provided an excellent framing of the two riders behind you and of course due to the shallow depth of field as a result of the moderately wide lens aperture that you chose it is only the reflected image that appears sharp so the surface of the track in front of you is completely out of focus and therefore does not distract the viewer in any way. I would have preferred to see the entire frame of the mirror, rather than the way the top edge is cropped through by the top edge of the camera frame, as I feel this would have strengthened the sense of a frame within a frame. It's great to read that the assignment is got you thinking about the different ways that you can shoot a subject. All in all it's a great piece of work and exactly what I was looking for in the framing part of the assignment, so well done and congratulations on this being a Photo of the Week!
