Judging by the harsh/sharp shadows, I'm guessing you shot in broad daylight. Try shooting at sunrise/sunset or on overcast days. I'd also recommend picking up a good circular polarizer to help reduce the reflections, primarily on the windows. Ease off on the contrast in post processing, too. You can't see any of the details of the tires in any of the pics. And it looks like you shot all these on f/10. Try opening up the aperture...

Thanks man, this is what I was looking for.

It's my first DSLR so I'm still learning the basics. I'll check my manual how I open up my aperture..

<--Newb in training!

I really do appreciate it though. Trying to get better!

If you or anyone has anymore tips, I would greatly appreciate it!

Turning up the saturation doesn't always make for good pictures. Sorry.
