*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A noble attempt that I assume meets the challenge.
What a lovely old engine this is, I can see what attracted you to it there's lots of lovely detail but there's the rub, I think you lost an opportunity to make more of this. I like your composition and the focus point clearly on the famous name which helps identify it and its era. What I am less happy with is your chosen aperture, the DOF is too shallow. You probably decided that you wanted to draw the viewers attention to the name to the exclusion of everything else but in my mind there was further great potential in the reflections in the centre hub such as we get a hint of in the cowl.
The tint works quite well here especially being a vintage engine a sepia type tone gives it a sense of antiquity. What I definitely do not like are the blown highlights. I know it can be difficult to get the right exposure especially with chrome under spotlights but there is too much here, it might have been better to combine a couple of exposures to avoid this. Whilst I do like your composition I think a little further away would have been better as you could have avoided cropping the lovely curve of the hub and perhaps included a little more of the lovely shape of the props.
All in all, a good effort, thanks for sharing it with us, Sid |

| Good color and focus on the center of the image; less so on the hub. While I appreciate that you may have wanted the nearest part to be out of focus, I think that detracts from an otherwise fine image. |
