Not sure it's working - at least not for me. With the leaves and contrast, the machine is lost and its rustiness not apparent. Also the white sky in the upper left draws attention away from "the main attraction". I'm looking for flow, or at least something for my eye to land on and I just don't see it. Perhaps it's me.

Like Terry, I don't think this image works in B&W, at least the way it is. There's nothing to make the carcass stand out from the woodland, nor to profile how it's 'growing' into the landscape.

I don't think the picture works in any variety. There's just nothing there.

Have to agree. Terry's was my first impression, too.
-
I agree… I think there's a good potential but with a different framing.
-
All of the above comments I agree with. Could you post a colour version to see if the colour separation helps distinguish the focal point from the background?

You cannot easily see rust in B+W and the deep blacks hide detail that would add interest to the image.
In fact, if you discount the blacked-out areas, what you can see of the vehicle is probably less than 10% of the image. The plants in the foreground have better detail and more interest for me.
