4 automobile shots for some C&C

I like the composition of the first and last one, however they all look underexposed... maybe that's the look you were trying for. It also seems like they are de-saturated giving the trees a weird look, maybe I am wrong. The car also looks dirty? I don't know. Is this the same car as the previous shots because the color is way different, going back again to the de-saturation (or something). Sorry to be so negative, but those are the things that seem obvious to me, again though I am not a pro and couldn't confidently say that I could do better. I always try to pick my photos apart and I guess that's why I am so negative with others' as well.

composition is looking better.

The exposure and color seems off on al of them. The colors are muted (compare them to the 1st batch)

2-3, try to watch your horizon and keep it level.

The second batch of photos are a lot more appealing. Just that the subject is a little underexposed for my taste. Fill light lol.

Thanks guys, I did "de-saturate" them on purpose I wanted a diff look. It was also SUPER bright out, where the first batch it was about to rain. I don't have any real editing soft ware yet so I can only edit in Picnik on my Flickr. I was really trying to work on the whole rule of thirds thing making sure I am not shooting with the car dead center and watching what is in the back ground. Thanks for all the input, I will try it again.

Yes that is what I was going for and I don't think the car was dirty but like I said, it was a trade in at work so I cannot wash it lol. It is the same car. I will take any good and bad C&C, that is why I am here. I am very new at this as well and I have no problem taking criticism from any one because we all have our own take's on things. Thank you for taking a look!
