I sorta do, but it's hard for me to explain why though. (I know that wasn't very helpful ... sorry) :)

Yes, I don't like how busy everything is in the reflection though. Nice color.

I kind of get hypnotized by the wheel. I like the colors and the patterns.

I like it too but I'm not sure the tilt is necessary. It might be better with more of the front of the car showing.

When I took the picture my plan was to rotate it in post so the red and black emblem was vertical and do a square crop with a black background . When I took the shot I instinctively (for some reason) lined the center emblem up horizontally.

When I looked at the photo at home to my surprise I decided I liked it the way it was. For me the emblem anchors the image in the middle, the car adds color and vibrancy, the asphalt adds detail and contrast to the car and the wheel itself is memorizing. I could go wither way with the reflection in the center of the hubcap. I think the refection of the surroundings adds a last little feature before you move on. If I was to make a large print of this I would see what it looks like with a cleaner reflection.

Lining it up to be center doesn't help the photo though to be honest. The highlight to the right of the wheel is distracting, the highlights to the left and underneath the car are also very distracting. No detail was brought out in the tires treads or anything, no details in the wheel well. It's just a flat, boring picture, minus the obviously cool centercap that is very reflective that I myself always like shooting.

Not bad. I wish the white walls were more white.

Don't you love people who give you one word answers and that's it? Geeze...how about giving a reason?
