I like this, but I'm distracted a little by the processing. For my eye, it was sharpened a little too much. This results in a bit of aliasing in high-contrast details, particularly the top edge of the bumper. I didn't like what it did to the texture of the trees, either, but that could certainly be a matter of personal taste. Despite this minor shortcoming, I do like the subject you found and captured. Giving it a 6.

I love the texture and details. Wonderful spiral shape and movement blur. I was so engrossed in the curve, that I almost entirely missed the wall texture in the lower-right until the moment I'm typing this comment. One of my faves this challenge. 8
