    You picked a great time to shoot so your light is pretty nice but here are a few comments:


    Composition:


    I'd shift it to the left when taking it toutilizethe rule of thirds and Clone out the twigs in thebottomright. I like the power lines for this shot but I find the rider in the back distracting. You might want to get closer and use a wide angle lens and shoot up at your subject for a more dramatic look. make sure to use a cheap UV filter as I've had rocks hit my front element before when doing this.


    Sharpness:


    I don't really see a reason to use ISO 100 for this unless you plan to print enormous sizes. Using something like ISO 800 would allow for a higher shutter speed to freeze yourforegroundand the spokes on the wheels. The alternative is to use a larger aperture to slow your shutter even more andutilizea panning motion tofurtherexaggerate the appearance of motion.

    Can you put the exif in order to give some more ideas?


    I do not know the focal lenght and the opening you used, but I find the back ground too detailed.


    I also think you can do a better post processing remouving the electical wire, and blurring the background
