A shot of a car's underbelly while the mechanic works on it. Thanks RVA for letting me shoot pics!

Post-challenge: Wow, what a hat-trick - first score over 6, new PB and a top 20 % finish!!! Thanks to all for great comments and to my TS teammates who patiently put up with my bitching and whining about score bobbing around during voting.
Still can't believe that I originally had Candid in mind for this shot, not til I got home did I realize that PWL was still open and might be a more suitable category.
Fittingly I stopped in at the mechanics ' shop where I got this pic and first learned of my score!
One final important lesson I learned from this shot: it's OK to shoot at an aperture of only 4.0 on occasion!

I really like the colours and exposure on this, I havent tried this kind of scene but imagine its tuff to get it right and thats what you did, great job! :)
Woo hoo, Susan! You did it!!! This was a great shot and I voted accordingly. I actually think this should have finished quite a bit higher. Great composition, lighting, all-around effect!
Congrats on the PB, as i said in the challenge this was one of the best imo thought you would have got an even higher score. It was a 10 all the way for me, well done.
Susan, congrats on a new personal best!! Don't ya just love when that happens? Great shot ... you got an 8 from me during voting. Tough challenge and you did very well.
Delightful image; I liked this one during the challenge, it is perfectly exposed and wonderfully composed! Congrats on your new personal best, top 20%, and top 50 finish :) Nicely done!
YIPPEEEEE!!!! Congrats on your new personal best and welcome to the 6+ club, Susan. :) What a creative idea to use the sparks to light up the background.
That sure is painting with light... I did a shot like this once but I didn't even think about using it for this challenge. Good job I like all the sparks
