This is an excellent shot. The lighting seems perfect. The shadows are dark, but still maintain detail, and the highlights dont appear blown out. What an accomplishment!

I just realized that this only placed 31. WTF? When it comes to food I have put DPC on "auto turn-off". They just don't know...

I thought I would let you know that I was also in the lower ranges in the beginning of the challenge, but much to my surprise I did end up, as did you, with an above 5 score. Anyway, I see the colors of this image and that is the first thing I notice. You created a warm image of something very hard and solid, creating a different kind of beauty. I saw your post on your comments, and I know you are used to high scores, but it still was respectable. Anyway, I liked it but I think, as I see with mine, that it missed the mark regarding spinning. Perhaps mine would have done really well in creepy, freaky friday, or Halloween. It was a bit off beat.

Beautifully lit, good clarity, and I like the bright lights above the wheels. My only criticism (a minor quibble) is thematic in that the spinning (presumably the jet engine) must be assumed since it isn't visible.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.

Love the image, cool subject. It'll be interesting to see where this is. Not crazy about the title.
