It has some strong qualities.  The composition is good, and it is striking enough to grab a viewer's  attention.  Yet the fact that it is almost completely abstract makes it likely that the viewer will stay with it attempting to understand it.  Nice work.

Abstract but not too much! I guess that some viewers will spend a good while to figure out what it is. I like the contrast between the wood and the metal-like surfaces. The X shaped shadow,  the bleeding light and the lack of horizontal or vertical lines add a sense of speed.
A very good shot.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.  I'd tell you what you're looking at, but I'm afraid that would ruin it!
