 I wasn't centered quite on the wheel like I had hoped, but it was hot and my leg hurt and I rushed it a bit.

If someone was asleep a the wheel, I expect they would be careening off the road, not parked under a tree. Of course they could be taking a nap, I suppose, but the photo does not show that. (Don't you just hate nitpickers?)

Cool shot, nonetheless. Besides, this challenge is pretty much a freestudy, so unless you just make up a band name that nobody can verify, you're golden.

I see the wheel but can't make the connection to sleep from your photo. The colors and angle are good though.

This would be better if you actually showed somebody "sleeping" at the wheel.
