Self Portraits on Maserati Wheel Lugs

At a parking lot auto show on Sept. 9, there were some pretty spiffy Ferrari's and Maserati's.  I took some pictures of some of the car parts, including a Maserati wheel that caught my attention because the chrome lugs reflected my image taking the shot.  Unfortunately, I could not find one that had the trident vertical, so I had to rotate the image in post processing to get it vertical.  That made my portrait off at an angle and it didn't look very good.   Last Tuesday I found myself at the Maserati dealership and asked a salesman for permission to take some photographs.  He not only didn't object, but he was aware of the reflection properties of the wheel lugs.   So I found a wheel that was oriented with the trident vertical and took this shot.


I like the strong graphical image of the wheel and the reflected images of yours truly are a bonus.
Comments welcome.
