I like it. Lots of elements, but they work as a whole. Colour works well too.

Rick, Stan, thanks for the comments!

Rick, I actually had that cropped out in an earlier version, but I
didn't like that much of the wheel being cut off.  Generally, I do
agree with you about the hair.  Perhaps just burning it a bit, or
(gasp!) cloning it out?  Okay, not cloning, but I'll try toning it
down a bit next time I'm fiddling with it.

Thanks to everyone who commented.  Glad you enjoyed it!

cheers,
frank

that's great, Frank. Belongs in a museum of sociology or something like
that. Or laid down in a cellar to be consumed in 20 years time. It's got

The bars/tubes make an interesting compositional element here.
The back story is interesting and the patterns add to the visual.
