I can see what you wanted to achieve with this but something is putting me off the image as a whole, I think it's going to be something silly like the scratches, I know it sounds picky but when I sit back and look at the image my eye keeps getting drawn to them, sorry.
Sunlit metalic surfaces are notoriously hard to shoot, expecially in available light and you did a good job. You shot yourself in the foot a little however by not using all the file size allowed. Your picture isn't as sharp as it could be.
Interesting form with nice lines. However, I don't think that soft focus works well with texture. Also the washed out lower lrft hurt this shot for me. But thats just me :)
NOTE : Upon adjusting my monitor, I now see the soft focus was my monitor, not your photo... Sorry about that! Still a bit washed out on the left, but I'm bumping you 2 to a 6... Again, sorry!
That's interesting, but a little washed out on the left. If that is what you wanted, good job, if not maybe play with different ways of lighting things. karmat
