Spedometer of my new Mazda Protege5. Decided to keep the grainy effect of the background vs the dial hand. Very little PS: levels, desaturation of all but red, slight crop, resize and border.
Not much of a shot, and probably not very original, but conveys the challenge topic. My other ideas did not pan out.

even though its a speedometer, i don't get the sense of speed that i get from other pictures in this challenge. nothing is moving. outside of the challenge, the composition of the picture could be improved by having the dial more centered. the left side is not showing as much as the right.
This is good idea, however to depict speed I would have taken the pic whilst the speedometer was not on zero but actually but moving! Otherwise a good pic, the graininess works and the dropping is fitting - 8.
Aww, I was disappointed when I saw the large "km/h", I don't know of any cars that extend to 220 mph. My speedometer goes somewhere around 140 mph, never been there, but definitely potential. Nice idea, maybe some motion in the gauge would work too, but then again, it'd be hard to take the pic while driving.
