I see that you have not found any of the 56 comments you have received as helpful, so I hope I can offer some useful words on this photo.
I've looked the shot over and over, and actually, this is technically a very well done shot.
Focus and clarity are great. I like the detail in the rocks and wheel and even some texture on the lug wrench itself.
The tones are good. Very nice contrats. Someone else said it I think, but I agree that while there really aren't many whites in the photo, they are there, and that you got a nice range of tones.
The angle and framing/cropping is good. I like how you have the lug wrench all in the photo, but the person out of the photo ecept for the hands. The X being in the very center of the photo does not bother me here. I think it works very nicely for this photo.
I'm not drawn into the photo. I think there is something lacking for visual appeal. Maybe it's just not the most exciting of subjects.
Overall, technically very well done, but lack visual appeal. ~Heather~
