Compositionally and technically, you have a very strong image. The car is in a strong point in the frame, and it makes the composition feel balanced and stable. The bw conversion is done very nicely and has some nice tones. There are some bands in the sky, but they are not immediately noticeable. I am assuming they are from a gradient or something.
The shot has a bit of initial interest in that the viewer wants to know *why* the car is up there, and how it got there. Unfortunately, though, beyond that, it does not compel the viewer to stay much longer. In a more specific challenge (Cars, Unique Perspective, etc) it would probably score higher.
If you have any questions, or if i need to further clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.
