Not accident but one man's impulse to fix his fender.

Super image the motion blur of the passing vehicle adds to the feeling that this is a dangerous bit of work he is undertaking. It also serves to provide a lovely natural frame for the mechanic

Good angle but try a second later to show more of the man and less of the moving car.

It is hard to see him. I would like a little more space between the cars...

First impression -- Honestly, I kinda went, "huh?" Then, I read the title, looked closer at the picture, and had to laugh, more out of experience, than anything.

Compositionally, the framing you have chosen isn't really interesting to me. There is nothing really to "rest" the eyes on, and no where for them to "go" within the picture. Therefore, without the title, the viewer may miss the "story" behind the shot.

Technically, the focus and exposure is good, and the bw works well.

If you wanted a higher score, I would suggest trying a couple of things. Having some "context" in the background could add some interest to the "story" and would help to draw the viewer in. Too much, though, and it will overshadow the subject and be distracting. Another option would have been to rotate it to the right about 30 degrees so that it was in the diagonal in the frame. If nothing else, this would help to add some "motion" to the shot, and it wouldn't feel quite so static.

If I need to further clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.

The picture is a tad crooked. Is it a bowl? If it is, great detail and contrast. If it isn't. What is this?

Absolutely no idea what this is - certainly intrigueing and I shall revisit after voting to see if there is an explanation!

Yay! This is my kind of entry! Not sure what you're looking at or the relation to the challenge at first, a visual presentation that isn't too "polished" or "flashy", and a great, subtle and poetic title to top it all off.
