Nice and shiny. I like the focus of the shot but the highlights are a bit blown. Don't you think?

Highlights are fine for me. It looks artsy in a way. Good focus by the way.

Highlights on the big file aren't blown. Reducing to jpg and changing color space probably blew them slightly.

Yes, at 243+ to 255, they are blown and you're right with that.

What you seem to have miss though is that whites and blacks
— and the shades in between — are the essence of an image,
specially when seen as accents in a given image.

Not all pixels must contain information but, when approach as
graphic elements, they may work pretty well… like in this one!

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Great imput !!  I like it and would love to see another more off center shot with some of the hood in it.  Maybe a 3/4 view shot ?

I don't mind thr highlights. I think it adds artistic value in it.

It's the kind of thing that I have been aiming for in my own shots:  finding art in the lines and curves of the otherwise mundane. I'm fairly new at B&W photography, but I like this shot and (for what it's worth) I think it's quite striking with good balance.

Whatever… it is always legitimate in my book! :P
