Overall it's pretty good. I'm not a fan of selective color, but you did a good job of it.

The black looks clipped on the left part of your car, you can't see hole in the front bumper anymore.

The cloning on the left (where the HVAC was) is a bit weird because it has less texture than the remainder of the wall, you may be able to do a better job. Try cloning from one of your other pictures if you have any that will work.

The door hinges on the right look weird... is that how they looked or did you make an inaccurate selection?

Also, try cloning out the radio antenna or whatever that is attached to the building in the upper right. It's distracting.

I could go on forever, but no picture's perfect. Overall it's good even if you don't bother with these adjustments.

I took out the A/C from the bulding, made the windows whiter, made the car and foreground B&W and a few little touches here and there to make it look nice.

Hello fellow photographer.

Well, the average person isnt going to see things like me and you. And if they do, it wont bother them as much as it would a perfectionist such as yourself and i. Good info though man.

Thanks for all the constructive criticism, now you gave me more stuff to do! Im going to see what I can do about the few things you mentioned..

Yes, the wall is not as textured as I wanted it, BUT I am going to see what I can do about cloning from another picture.

The hinges on the door were like that, never touched that area.

I am going to get rid of the antenna like said now that you mention it, I never saw it myself! haha.

As far as the front bumper, I dont know about the hole. That is basically where the shadow of the picture and my cars color merge so there really is no fine line...

No problem, glad you took as constructive criticism.

What method are you using to make your car b&w? Are you just desaturating? You might like to see the whole imagine black and white, I think it would look good.

Yeah I just desaturated the lower portion of the image, concrete and car. And yes I love B&W picures, but I just like how the red makes the car pop out. And what sucks is that I did soften up the front of the car on accident, its too late to go back and fix it, actually I am going to get a clip from the original and get it back. I did try something new with the wall, Ill post it up and see what you think. and I deleted the antenna

I probably cant see as much detail as you, b/c the room my computer is in has a bunch of light coming in that I cant help..so the screen has reflections all in it. Makes it real hard to see detail. But let me know if these are any better
