It's too detailed, and it's shown head-on, which isn't awfully clear. I rather suspect you won't buy that critique, because as you've worked with it, you've lost the objectivity of a first-time viewer. You know it's Bessie, so that's what you see. But it took me a few seconds of staring at it to even see a car — much less Bessie. Your basic problem is that it's got so much detail it's not recognisable. The key here is to not just be monochromatic, but also to be simple — virtually an outline. It seems like this must be just you. I instantly saw Bessie.
