Default Rust on the hood

Is this photo composed with a clear subject?
Does the line lead to the broken glass well?
I adjusted the saturation a little bit. Was it too much?

Thanks for the response.

Good idea. The saturation is bit much I think. I'd like to see the depth of field increased so that the entire hood ornament was in crisp focus. I wonder if it might be stronger if a bit higher shooting position was taken so that the hood ornament was placed totally against the rust color? I'm not sure if you were cropping out disracting elements on the right, but if not you could try moving the shooting position to the left a bit and then cropping the windshield portion on the left. Just some ideas.

Now that I see the picture on a decent monitor I see the over saturation. That will teach me!

I like the concept but I may be trying to "say" too much in this picture.

I will try again.

Thanks
