I think it's joie de vie... literally... joy of life, n'est ce pas ?

I'd like to see a recrop of this shot, keeping all the front wheel section in, as well as the foreground beneath the front wheel. The sepia effect could be enhanced a just little more to age the image even further. It is an excellent study. Another one that would also lend itself to several really closeup shots going almost abstract. Would make a good wall series starting with several closeups from the left culminating with the full frame image. Food for thought.
