I like 'em. What do you feel needs improvement? Is it "pop?" If so, just dump in (gently mix in) more saturation, contrast, and sharpening. These look like natural-light pics. A reflector or off-camera flash could improve #1 and maybe #3.

Thanks for the advice.

I jus thtink they are OK but a bit boring.

Frash or reflector wouldn't help.

All of those are taken with a 300mm objective

The #1 pic could use something in the reflection to keep our attention.
The #2 pic looks just fine.
The #3 pic could use a better background. The dead grass does not complement the color of the car.

Other than that I personally like all of them they look great.

The length of your lens does not mean off-camera flash or an assistant holkding a reflector would not help. To take your first example, it would add sparkle to the letters and knock down some shadows.
