Very effective shot for the challenge, though my personal preference would have been to leave the car in B&W as well.

This is really nice. The lone red car in the very large parking lot is very effective

Cool shot idea! The red car against a black and white background is a great choice!
Good shot, and the brightness of the street lights work good. Also like the amount of detail in the house to the right.

I think all black and white would work fine. I guess the red car emphasizes your point. Either way, it's a nice shot. I really like the parking lot lines and the emptiness here.

Clever. Night shots can be tough. Easy to mess up and easy to overwork.
