I was hoping to take this in the rain and title it "jumping in the rain". But alas, it was quite sunny out.
I tried to enhance the shadows to give a gloomy kind of feel - noone is happy when you need a jump. And I thought the red and copper on the cables would make a good standout contrast to the black and white tones.
Once again - hoping for a 5 - anything better may help out my teammates int he WPL.

This is a neat image - I always like it when someone takes an unusual and creative approach to a challenge topic. I like the use of selective desat, I think that adds some pop to the image. Having the cable lead into the image works well.
The composition is good, but could I suggest a different composition by having the hand and red jumper cable a little farther apart? All of the contrasty parts of the image (Jumper, hand, distributor cap) feel sort of bunched to the upper left. It feels like the lower right half of the image just does not have anything much in it, the battery is featureless enough to act as sort of negative space. Not always bad of course, it just does not feel like it is doing much here. Maybe play with the angles with this in mind and see what you think.
I like the image overall; it is creative, and technically very good as well. Looking forward to seeing future images by you.
Lateral thinking well done. The image is generally nice and sharp. I am not sure about the focus around the negative terminal but then again it may be my eyes. Nice one.
