its cool.
Crop out the thing on the left and the line on the lower right and I think it is a stronger image.

Ultimately it's your photo and your decision as to what you delete and what you keep. This is a cool shot, but I probably wouldn't do much with it. The bubble is very interesting, especiall with the reflection, but upon closer inspection it just looks like a couple of cars in a parking lot being reflected. That really doesn't say much to me. If you like the concept, then I'd try to duplicate it with something more interesting in the bubbles. For example, if there were someone on a bicycle refelcted in the bubble that would complement the silhoutte of the bike to the left.

Thank you for your comments. When i took the shot, I just liked the idea of catching the bubble. When I looked at it the first time, I thought it looked cool. When I examined it further, I couldn't believe some of the "stuff" that was going on (with the bike and the reflections). After reading your comments I would consider this shot again, but staged, to make it more interesting.
Once again, thank you for commenting
