**This is my first ever submission to a photo contest**
I have been loitering around DPChallenge for a long time and thought it was finally time to get involved and join in the fun. The Wheel challenge intrigued me because I love taking photos of things that people don't think of as subjects. I thought long and hard about what wheel to shoot, toying around with cars, motorcycles and bicycles until I spotted my Dad's old record player.
I tried to find a unique angle that could turn the ordinary into something special. Please feel free to critique so long as it is constructive.

Something different than "just the front tire of a car" nice !!!
As soon as I noticed this challenge, a voice inside me said, "OK, this is a challenge where everyone will just shoot the front tire of a sports car or something"
Appreciate the alternative interpretation of the challenge. Wonderfully executed composition and use of B&W. Top 5 on my list.
Edit: the simplistic composition of this is just super. I love B&W photos and identify with this one a lot.
Just cant figure out whether I prefer the needle arm out of focus or not? Nonetheless, well deserving of the 8 :)
