I really like the gritty low-color effect of this shot. It gives me a feel of what life must be like in that hot place. I can almost see the heat rising in the background. I also like the sharp focus and the rhythms of the tire, the grille, and the lights ... three separate rhythms playing together. I like the contrast in the long shadows on the ground too.
P.S. I just noticed the spring adding yet another rhythm to this composition.
