This proved to be more difficult than anticipated. First of all, I couldn't find a black suit so I had to use a doggie tuxedo costume I had from my boys younger days. Unfortunately he out grew it. The only one it would fit was Beanie (girl pug). The tuxedo costume had a bow tie - not the type tie in MIB II so I had to scour all the stores in the area for a child size black tie. After visiting a dozen stores I finally found one. Removed the bow tie, and the kid tie looked perfect.
I didnt want to chance Beanie getting run over in a busy parking deck, so I went to the parking deck at the hospital on my night off - a little after midnight. No traffic -no squished pug. The lighting however was horrible! I expected it not to be well lit and knew I would have to go with ISO 1600. What I didnt count on was the yellow tinted lights! Yikes.....had to make a major adjustment in temperature and tint with the RAW file to compensate. Next issue was trying to find black vehicles parked adjacent to one another as in the movie. I had no luck there so I went with the gray ones that were sitting side by side. Too bad this wasn't Advanced editing...I could have made them look black. ;)
The easy part was getting Beanie to perform. She'll do anything when lured with french fries. :P
As soon as I saw the Challenge theme I knew I wanted to do this. Hopefully I won't get hammered.

Ohh, it took me a minute to realize that this is a parking lot and the cars are not moving, I got worried about the dog for a second. Great shot anyway, 8 from me.
excellent!! maybe alittle faster shutterspeed and lower angle would have helped but great job. looks just like the movie shot, the other suggestions are more general comments if it wasn't for the cahllenge and didn't affect your score :).
