B&W would work better for this IMHO. I'd like to see better contrast between the bicycle and background.
That said, the composition does work. I'm not sure what it tells us, though. There must be a million stories in Afghanistan. Which one is this?
If not now, when?

If that's not a B&W picture, one of two facts prevail: that's the most monotone environment I've ever seen or all the color cones in my eyes have ceased working.

I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

Precisely. That image you posted yesterday of the young women framed in the window told a myriad of stories and was visually captivating. But this one? Yes, it's composed nicely, but it's yet another bicycle leaning against yet another mud-brick walled building somewhere in the developing world.
