You may not like the thoughts, here goes.

Number plate is crooked. Rip it off, photoshop it off or put it straight.

White balance is way off. Even if you intended to go for a cold winter tone.

Most of these are overexposed.

Framed WAY tight.

Not level in most cases.

No use of the background.

Always avoid trees or lamp posts or anything sprouting out of the car, if you can.

The 4th pic has potential, I would've shot it looking straight ahead, down low and from the center of the road, car where it is and zoomed in to the max to emphasize on the trees line up.

3rd picture, the car barely fits in the frame. You want to get familiar with the rule of thirds (more of a guideline than rule), give the subject some space.

These are all points I was thinking of. In most cases your composition is random with the 5th picture being the most apparent for this. It seems as if you've just walked up quickly and taken a picture at the usual shoulder height.

Just for the record, what camera are you using? A compact?

I use a Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ3 Digi Cam, looking to get the Lumix G2 DSLR soon.

Ah yeah I've seen your photostream before, i've now added you as a contact

Just so you know, the Panasonic G2 is not a DSLR, it's a Micro Four Thirds camera.

I am unsure what camera i want to be honest, Nikon D3100 looks good value.
