To ad to what's been said, instead of using landscape size for photos you have there, try using Portrait, but tilt the camera to 90 degrees. It'll become more wide and narrow, Like Panorama. It'll crop out a lot of the area that draws the attention away from the viewer without cropping out the car and the trail of smoke.
From my opinion..
1) First Typhoon Pic is too blurred. Unsure of how to fix that.
2) 2nd pic, the rims are clearly defined. Unless you used E-Brakes at that time, I'm assuming you used a shutter speed a bit too quick. Normally, stock shutter speed (125) gives you the impression that the wheels are spinning really fast.
3)IMO (in my opinion), I don't like it. the subject matter is being dominated by the background and thats the reason why i dont like it.
4) 2nd and 3rd skyline, Like I said, try using portrait set at 90 degrees.. that should improve on the image
5) I like the 1st Skyline Pic.. It's like something I have.. See My gallery so you know what I mean...
