Greetings from the Critique Club!

The message
This is a great whimsical image! The colors and forms really grab attention. And there are a lot of contrasts, which make the photo very interesting.

Creative choices
Nice composition; the elements go well together without too much clutter, and takes advantage of the natural textures of the subject. The vertical format works well. There is a lot of glare from the overcast lighting; a polarizer may have reduced it, or choosing a sunnier day would have had even brighter colors.

Technical aspects
Technically well done. Good focus and fine exposure. Levels are fine, although darkening the midtones slightly may have helped counteract the glare.

Nice detail, nice how it gives a sense of age (flowers in the engine, sunken tires, beaten up). I would like more of a blurred background (small apeture). Great job.

Very sweet. Seems blurry though, invest in a tripod!

Well that's different! Nicely composed but let down by the weather. A sunnier day would have made the greens & reds pop very nicely.
