  Not bad pictures, but me thinks you need some better lighting. Some parts of the car are too dark...
  In any case, heres a good site for photog pointers:

  Guess you might want to try Photoshop if you aren't using it already...

  Or you can use Gimp as well. Its free and its as powerful as Photoshop.
  Nice pics by the way bro =) Yeah, the lighting is a bit low though Lucky I can just borrow my bro's 400D and all his lenses.. :p No need to spend money on cameras..
