For some reason I found this scene impossible to ignore but I'm not sure that I got the most of what was available. I'd love to hear any suggestions as to what else I might have done with this technically and also as composition. Comments on the BW conversion always are welcome too. Thanks for any time and thought you bring to this.

I can see why you wanted to take this picture. It's pretty interesting! I think the black and white colors really suit this picture. It makes it looks old, and kind of helps the mood.

One thing, though, if you can go back to this scene again, I would try shooting it at a different angle. Different angles are usually more interesting than straight-on shots. And remember the rule of thirds. This would make it a lot more interesting.

There are a lot of distractions around. Maybe a closer crop, or a tiny bit of vignette would help draw your eyes to the car seat more. Kind of like this-
