I love this - and I don't really naturally gravitate towards machinery (how female of me!) But your values and colours make it so much more than machinery, you give it a spirit, a warm kind of monumentality... yet without going to 'animism' - or animation (though one wonders when you'll move in that direction, considering how much you love "Cars"!)
a beautiful symphony of color here
