not too bad, but some observations if i may:
shots 1-3, and 10-12: kinda blurry. maybe a tripod or faster shutter speed would help?
shots 5-7: the rear half of the car is barely visible, due to lack of lighting. perhaps parking the car under or near a light source would net better results. are u using a flash, by any chance?
shots 9-12: it seems like the lines of the car are lost against that dark background. try placing the car infront of a lighter object for better contrast.
shot 4: most of the car is hard to see because it's in a shadow. a light source is available, but it seems that u shot from the wrong side of it. try standing between the light source and the car.
it's been said, "those who can, do. those who can't, teach". i don't know if u wanna take my advice, as i practically know jack **** about photography. matter of fact, i just bought my first camera (which happened to be digital) just a few months ago. so i'd have to say that i'm coming more from an onlooker's point of view than a photographer. there's a few guys here that kick *** at taking pics (Stanbo and dekand immediately come to mind). maybe someone can give u some really helpful tips.
all in all, not bad though.
