second pic seems kinda blurry.

the arches look pretty cool.

Candid shots always look good and natural.

Sunset seems be bit grainy, but looks nice none the less. Maybe run a lower ISO and a longer shutter speed?

Pics of the WRX is rather boring, but the colour one is pretty crisp and sharp.

The pic of the building seems boring again...can't really see much.

Hope that helps.

Opinion only, the pics of the car and shades seem to be making an "I'm cool " statement that overpowers any idea subtleties of the photos. I like the lighted arch ways and reflection best.

Picture of the girl makes me think the photographer has the ability, but the mundaneness of the subject and what she is doing doesn't draw me to the photo per SE.

Pics of 4 door cars draw me away from lines and art and make me think of practicality, which then clashes with the body add-ons.

I like the reflections/arches. But that's the only one I feel has anything to it.

I too have tons of work to do for my photography skills. But there are alot of things wrong with the pics. Contrast is too heavy, the crop of the last pic- the car just outlines the car dead center with a bad width/length ratio. The girl is just covering her face- I am given no clue as to why.

Keep practicing and taking pics though. Don't let helpful criticism get you down.
