I do think you want to flip around to show the drive side.

For this photo I'm seeing tension about where is horizontal. I'm guessing the background metal shutter has the true horizontal stripes, you have that aligned pretty well based on the top of the image. Which means this is a top tube which slopes downwards -- which you can see here, but also the floor looks like it is sloping downwards to the other direction, so the top tube is not as angled downwards as it could be, so I think flipping it around would also create a bigger angle between the top tube and the background; near-parallel is visually confusing.

Also, since the bike is the subject, I would center it better in the photo.
