This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: the leading line of the stripe of metallic draws the eye nicely around the image.

color: a beautiful conversion to black and white

contrast: a little harsh on some of the numbers, but otherwise very interesting

focus: nice and sharp, great focus

depth of field: such a small area, that there isnt that much depth of field. so i cant really say with this one.

lighting: very different, i love how the letters really shine

other: An interesting take on something we view everyday, and never see real beauty in. great job on capturing the essence of it. I hope you'll stick around DPC, grow your portfolio, and share more of your work. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to PM me.

Looks like you did some extreme work with the channel mixer. Some of the icons look funny as a result. Original idea though.

I'd say your MPG is the unlucky part!

Not so much "unlucky" as poor planning
