I'm wondering why you used selective color in this shot. Did you want the car to be the main focus or the sign? If both, what relationsip do they have with each other? Be very careful with selective color. It's fun to try, but you must decide why you are highlighting one (or two in this case) aspects of the picture.

There is no particular relation between the two.
It was just I was liking the idea of poping out these 2 object from the image.

I like the selective color because the car is really interesting. It looks like an old picture that came to life, or like a toy car in a cardboard city
As a suggestion, I think that if you crop the empty foreground and a little from the sides, the car will stand out better.

I'd agree with the tighter crop suggestion, maybe see what it looks like straightened up a bit as well?

I think the selective colour works very well on the car, but it would be better without the sign highlighted.
It'd be good if you post any new versions

I liked a little more street - agreed that the original picture had too little crop, but I think this one has too much crop. We'll see if others agree. I just feel like some of the b&w foreground enhances the shot.
