I adored this shot the first time I saw it and was very surpised at it's placement. Sure the color is a little overdone, but it works for me in this instance. One of my few 10's in the challenge
I can't belive how this placed I thought for sure it would be in the top 3, it was without a doubt my very favorite! It looks like a painting, abstract, with a ruffness to it that is awesome! The color is perfect and the light on the tire makes the whole shot!
There is a certain drama here. The (oversaturated) red is in sharp contrast to the black and white of the tire. Composition is fine. It has a grittiness I like, in small doses. Focus could use a little work and I think I would like it better if the ground wasn't quite so blown out.
