I've never tried shooting a car before but I was driving along and found what I thought would make a good backdrop.

A tighter crop would have enhanced the subject. Plus you'd be more likely to see the dog.

Nice ride! I like the dog in it, but don't think that the windows improve the shot any more than a tree growing out of it would. When you have time, look through the links in my Sig.

Nice shot...

I think just against the brick wall and a bit tighter would look cool

I agree with everyone. I really like the dog idea but I had to search for him. The screens or windows are too distracting. Other than that, its a great picture.

Agree with all the above. You are suffering from "subject confusion". Are you shooting a dog in a car or a car against some cool wall/giant windows. Currently you have both and it is weakening the image. Re-crop the image to get closer to the car/dog. You can cut off the entire top section of the windows and still have them provide visual interest with distracting. Also crop in closer to the back of the car than the front to give a little implied motion/get the car out of the centre of the image.
