Ha! Talking about explosive impression. This car front really pops up on me. It has a dream like quality, or like that sparkle of christmas bowls...  I find it interesting to see how this kind of postprocessing moves a cold technical shot into the realm of emotional response, how much I am now looking at this shot with the eyes of a child...

Somehow I would like to see the area of sharpness shifted slightly to the left. Maybe just a bit more space on the left would do already. High contast as always ... but I like the glow, the sparkle, the radiation and the toning.

In this case, the high contrast doesn't bother me. It is necessary to make the 'zoom-burst' effect effective. 

One thing I could suggest is to extend the bottom part to include the corner of that triangular pattern in the floor within the frame. I feel that that would provide a nice geometric accent (that is broken up in this version) and add some more negative space to balance the automobile.

Not "Christine". Instead, perhaps, her startled and more innocent sibling.

I never would have envisioned that such gesture/personality could be brought out in a photograph of a car!
