Here goes, intended in the best spirit of constructive criticism: Contrast looks too flat for my taste. Separation of man on motorbike from background would be nice. (wait or have him tilt his head the other way, or move back to the shaft of light coming from the left). I Would have liked to see him and his bike a bit more in focus. The statue of Buddha seems incongruous with the immediate surrounding; I would have explored that incongruity more. It's not clear that you intentionally wants the other man behind the statue. (Is that a vegetable street vendor ? ). I am also not clear about your choice of film and aperture. I would have gone with a higher ISO, if necessary, and shoot at a smaller aperture (f16 maybe, on a 28mm lens, at that distance). But then again, the film might have been chosen for something totally different, so we just shoot with what's in the camera at the moment. Anyway, all of this makes the photo unsatisfying to me. That said, I would like to see more of your (and everyone else's) photos. I am a photo junkie.
