Well, I like it.
Specifically, the light eyes are framed by the swirling scarf and a "face of experience".
This image is about the man's face, hidden save for the eyes and nose, making him present yet hidden.

Great image - the rule of thirds works well here.
shiny cars are difficult to photograph unless you work on a cloudy day or under a cover, otherwise highlights and reflections will dominate. You could illuminate the automobile using polarized lights then use a polarizing filter on the camera to cut the glare, but that's another story ....
Studebakers were made and sold in Canada until 1966, two years after the company went out of business in the USA. I thought they were good cars, though they could not keep up with the other cars as far as style and luxury.
Because Studebaker's engine were not manufactured after 1964, the Canadian division installed Chevrolet motors, most commonly the 230 c.i.d. six, but offered the optional 427 c.i.d. V8.

Intersting, eyecatching composition.
You focused the camera on the nondescript bucket, leaving the expensive artwork out-of-focus, an unusual but effective idea.

Excellent image - I keep looking to see what's natural and what's been added.
Keep up the interesting work.

Great composition and shutter speed here.
having light coming from two or 3 directions may improve subject at risk of harming background. like it as is.

Wow - bizarre yet interesting.
Your style is original and something that I would want to view again and again.
Keep up the good work!
John

Scott:
great image, the colours are great. good choice of filter, but was surprised to see a macro lens for this subject.

great rendition of an everyday place.
I worked near 7-mile in 2007 but never looked for a skating park back then.
The duotone effect works well here.

Great image Scott.
At first I objected to the blue cast, but then saw how it frames the green grove nicely.
Good work!

I like the scenery and the border.
the image seems to be out-of-level though. I may try a workshop version later.
