Attempted to get the tram lines to lead the viewer to the front of my car.

Hi Dave, this has almost worked, but you needed to remove whatever was on the tram line to keep this line clean, also it would have been better to see all of the car and it needed to be facing into the image (not out as you have got it. I would also have cropped out some of the sky. You have a good setting there so another go would be well worth it. Remember this is only my opion.

Cheers for your reply! Yeah I would have probably cropped the sky if I had photoshop on my comp, I had the car at an angle to make it appear wider as it looks a bit puny facing you (its a bit slim!!)

The Low angle has worked very well on this image.

I very much like your other image called 'Roadtrip', as it is very well composed and gives a good feeling of movement.

You do not need photoshop to preform a lot of tasks, the likes of Picasa will preform many simple alterations and it is free

Oh right, thats the google one isn't it? I think I'll look into that. I might put a few more of my pictures up for critique, including 'roadtrip'. A lot of my photos are on a different computer I should really gather them all together

At least if one computer fails you will only lose some of your images

Same again mate. Composition is brilliant but the sky/mood is bland.
Shoot early morning or late afternoon if you know it will be a sunny day. The view point on this one is really good as Barry pointed out. The images I have seen so far are an excellent starting point and extremely good.
