This is the famous Pierce Arrow hood ornament. I brought two cameras to the Stanford Concours this year, my D100 and my F4s.

I find the head on shot a little hard to read. After the caption told me it was Pierce Arrow, I could make out the subject but didn't recognize it right away. Of course, maybe you want your audience to work a little. Did you grab any profiles of the ornament?
Good use of shallow depth of field.
Thanks for the comment.
Did you view the full sized version of the picture?
Here's my thinking behind this one:
Even though this was a Pierce Arrow hood ornament, the picture is not supposed to be a common illustration of a hood ornmanent. The point of view is that the viewer of the picture should feel like the target of the archer. And the viewer's eye should be drawn eventually to focus on the archer's eye (as in seeing eye to eye, hunter vs. hunted). But you only get this effect if you view the full sized version of the picture.
