I don't know how this is going to do but I left the rear-view mirror in because I felt it added to the shot :)

This has a lot of potential, and has good tonal range. Unfortunately, the mirror gives it the feelign of a snapshot taken from a car. Would also like to see the dog and drivers' faces, or a little closer up.
i don't think this works to well, i don't know if the car mirror was meant to add to this but IMO it does not. It also looks kind of an opportune shot that was taken as you drove by and thought " ahh quick camera lets take this"
perhaps you should concentrate on taking pictures stationary before you through driving a vehicle into the mix ;) seems like you were just too late or too early on this one. exposure could use some work as well.
My take is that this photo suffers from the subject being a little too small and turned away from the camera. Nice job on the exposure and b/w conversion, however, it has great tonal range.
dog? I can sort of see something that resembles legs up in the seat where I expect a dog but can't tell what it is really. I think if you were gonna use him in the title he should more visible. The mirror is a MAJOR distraction and instantly draws the view away form the carriage...your main subject. It feels like you didn't have anything to enter so just went with this..just my opinion.
