Yeah, and a yellow chain, unfortunately.

What a hot rod. It's definitely yellow and your shot is technically pretty good. It's a shame you couldn't include mroe of the car though.

Very creative shot and clean crisp focus. Cropping is near perfect in my estimation. Well done! Bitz

Hi Justine, I don't see the grain or artifacts, but I didn't see it in my own submission either, and others did, so I guess I'm not much help in that department.
What I like about this is that it is an ordinary, everyday kind of subject, that when examined more closely, as in this image, it highlights the curves and turns.
I like the light and shadows, how the flat part is in shadow. I think a bit more contrast might be nice, but then, the illusive graininess would be highlighted too, I suppose.
This certainly meets the perspective challenge, and the perspective is interesting.
The dof could be improved to satisfy those who want everything in focus. It's all personal taste. It's fine as is for me.
Overall...It's not a compelling image. Most of what you see can be seen in a glance, without inviting deeper study. It would be a good one to play around with it PS just for fun to see what you can come up with. Has potential for a fun abstract...of course not here though...lol
Regards,

Grayce

Zoom out a little. Maybe get more of the roof and front fender... Although I know it's tough with the on-lookers in the way all the time. :) The chain is distracting also.

This photo doesn't have a lot of tonal depth, ie. overall it seems grey to me. The composition of the spindles is a bit too severely angled. It feels like it directs my eyes up to the top right corner, which isn't a good feature compositionally.

The angle is imaginative, but it doesn't do it for me.

Interesting angle.

Good use of the challenge topic. I might have liked the first post to be in focus rather than the second.. A little bit of grain noticeable that looks more like artifacts rather than woodgrain.
