I re-discovered an SD card that had lots of pix from our trip to China in October 2017. I had processed more than 700 keepers and got distracted. Now I am back looking at the "second tier".

Dirty dishes outside a restaurant in a Beijing hutong might not be a prime candidate for photgraphy, but I thought it might have possibilities when I shot it. The old bike may or may not be interesting.

Three different crops. Which appeals? "None" is a fine answer. Thanks.

I have shot trash before. However, it was colorful trash from a weaving loom. Not my cup of tea.

Crop out the bicycle. It serves little to no interest to the photo. The color is nice, but distracts from the garbage.

#3. You can't crop out the bike, since components will be visible in the frame.

A Chinese restaurant that did not have a dish washer?

I may be wrong but because the bike is sandwiched (pardon the analogy) between garbage bags in front and the garbage containers in back I think it is also garbage and adds some color.

It's the first picture. I love it just as is as it tells a story. It is reality.
I am glad you took it and post it here.

In my view, the second crop works best.

Can't quite figure out what you are trying to say here if anything. Does not do anything for me

#1 for me - the colorful bike is a natural spot for my gaze to rest after following the leading line of crates, plus adds context.
