There seem to be two photos here. The auto parts and Mr. Od? are competing for attention here. The focus should be one or the other. Creative angle and nice contrast.
I'm bumping this one up two points for two reasons. One, its the best B&W in the challenge, and I'm a fan. Two, because it meets the challenge so well. GL.
Great! You kept Mr Od from blending in with the spares with your camera angle which is excellent. The only constructive comment I can make (and is purely a personal opinion) is that I think it would have been a little better (again for me) if the front tire was also in focus so maybe increasing the apeture..Looks like there would have been plenty of light for it?
