Nice =) IMHO your framing is just a wee bit on the tight side but I
like your composition a lot.
Thanks, Ecke. I appreciate your criticism of the framing but if
anything, I think I should have gotten even closer. To me it's more
about the heat: the deep red, the sky blue, the chrome and the lines. I
don't really care about revealing its car-wheelness. :-)
I've got a more cool, studied image of the spoked wheels of a vintage
T-bird that I'm prepping as a contrast to this one. That image frames
the entire wheel, plus some of the bodywork.
I really appreciate your examination.
Quick additional comment about this shot

The Isetta is not a threewheeler, it has four wheels, two each on a
wide front and a narrow rear axle. Because of this it was nicknamed in
Germany the "Schlaglochsuchgerät", i.e. "pothole searching device" -
you just don't miss them with a four track vehicle...

Ah, you found my controversial Isetta shot. Another PDMLer took me to
task over the 3-wheel claim a couple of years ago. :-)
In my defense I can only point you at the wikipedia stuff where they
explain that the UK version eventually had 3 wheels to take advantage of
the road tax laws. With no reverse gear, it was classified as a three
wheel motorcycle and could be driven with a motorcycle license.

That said, I think the car in my photo is actually an earlier four-wheel
one. :-)
