Artistic form following function. Again you have used your 'Photographers eye' and your camera to capture the intentions that the designers/engineers had in mind when they put these on the early 'machines' to make them look & work better. Given your appreciation and artistic 'bent', I'm not surprised you did such a fine job of creating a great photo. I just noticed the interesting reflection pattern (pairs of bright white spots in the lower portion of the louvers) which accent and add a pleasing (for me) highlight on the 'metalwork'. (10)
I think you have a great eye, and are right for wanting to capture this..(whatever part of the auto it is, lol) but I think it could have been composed better. maybe a slightly different angle or perspective..or a bit closer in to an area so we couldn't see that the repetitions actually end (it needs to appear endless imo!) ..also a slight contrast and brightness +bump with the curves maybe? :) nice shot though. 8 in my book.
That light is fantastic! I love the buttery creamy yellow...I know this is a street rod...yet the image has a wonderful abstractness about it...one of my favs for sure!
