Some Pictures I've taken w/ my new D60

[Oz10]

Hi, I'm new to the forums and photography in general. I've always had the eye for it, but never the camera. I finally got a worthy camera this year for Christmas and I've been shooting pictures ever since then. Here are a few I've taken in the last week.

My buddy swapping the Transmission on his car. (I was supposed to be helping, haha)

Heres one of my car.

My first try at a portrait-type shot.

Decided to experiment and do something with photoshop I hadn't tried before.

Here are my two favorites that I've taken so far.

Feel free to give me your suggestions!
I came here to learn. :thumbup:

Though I am not a fan of car photography (quite to the contrary), I must say that I am NOT surprised that you like the last one presented here best of all the work you've done so far. Also the experiment of the long exposure and your ghostlike girl-friend is nice. She should have stayed inside the frame for even shorter than she did to make her even more see-through.

When you took her portraits in the woods, the light had already become too low and you got camera shake and also (I guess) your auto-focus was getting difficulties in focussing. They are both blurred.
