    I like it alot,

    However I personally feel the reflections in the speedometer glass blend in with the gray of the rest of the photo and distract a bit. The black dial being the main focus of the composition, I would have probably done it using a CP to remove the reflections of the clouds and give a nice contrasting black dial to attract the eye.

    For me the main problem here is that the focal point is not tack sharp...which again, for me means i stop working on it and move on.
    The tones look decent but could use a bit more contrast (maybe 15-20%) for extra pop.
    The metal part at mid left is a distraction for me because it's so shiny and bright, I'd likely tone it down.
    Hope that helps - Marko
