Love the colours in this, very clear photo. Did you try cropping out the red car in the background? Might be better

Texture always works well in B&W and you've chosen your subject very well.

For those who voted down on this because they thought it DNMC:

The challenge was to convey speed (fast or slow), not to show something speeding.

If Porsche, one of the fastest production automobiles in the world for over 40 years doesn't convey speed...

BTW - Word of advice. If you like to drive, don't drive a Porsche unless you can afford to buy one. Especially not on a twisting, windy road.

And in case you're wondering, no, I don't own one (although I'd like to...)

The lighting is a bit harsh and really masks a lot of the depth that the bark of the tree would otherwise add to the image. I like the processing overall.

Nice shot, and good crop. The overall color tone is nice. I think I would like to see brighter highlights.
