Hello from the Critique Club, Tara!
I think this is a great abstract view, which I appreciated in a challenge like transportation.
Colour Composition and Contrast:
I wonder if the car is actually white, and if so, whether it is your white balance that is giving it that blue cast? If it is the case that your white balance was a bit off, I think a bit of hue correction in some photo editing software could fix that up for you without much trouble. That would also give the image a bit more contrast I think, and work out well!
I like the blue of the sky, but I think it was not necessary for the mood of the shot. As a number of the comments below mentioned, I think a little more grill, or backing off the car just a bit to fit more of it into the frame would have worked well too.
The overall perspective you have on the shot is great. Gives off a very "powerful" sort of presence to the car, which is fitting I think. :)
Focus, lighting:
I don't think you have any problems with your focus or depth of field, seems spot on to me here, and its very well done.
The only nit about lighting is the glare from the sun. If this was a car that was not going to go anywhere for a while, I would have waited until the sun was in a different spot in the sky to avoid the harsh glare and bright spot it creates!
overall:
Good perspective on your subject, and a nice abstract view. You've met the challenge and created a feeling with your picture, which is not always easy to do! Happy shooting. :)

Very cool the way you have this positioned yourself to take this photo. Very creative. Cropping is also a plus. |

I like your choice of perspective. To give this image even more impact you could include more of the grill or even the entire grill but keep the roof of the car in the picture. You might have to back off a little to keep all this in the frame. |

very nice angle shooting this picture i think that by eliminating the sky at the top would make it more intresting |

Nice, but I wish it were wider, or the camera further away. I want to see some more detail of the front of the car or somthing. Maybe the edges of the headlights? I guess I'm saying it's maybe too tight of a crop. Good shot though. Nice ride! |

I think you have taken this from an excellent angle, good composition, but do feel that the glaring reflection from the sun does tend to spoil it a bit. |
