Hi, I like the blue sky and the almost tan sand in your photo.

Try to apply the 3/4 horizon rule. You can either make 3/4 sky and 1/4 earth or 1/4 sky and 3/4 earth. It might make a difference :)

Hi

I prefer the new image; however to me there is still too much sand in the foreground.

It would have been better if there was a foreground focal point, however overall it is good shot nice and crisp, the blue and the brown contrast each other very nicely

I am also a little distracted by the one tyre mark going from the foreground towards the car, it make me wonder if it was only on 2 wheels.

I would have like to see the car tracks (x2) disappearing into the distance towards the car

If you look closely enough, you can see the two track marks. It may not be clearly visible but it is there.

I like both shots. The first one I might have tried zooming in just a bit. It may have drawn the background in a little and make the picture less dominated by all the sand around the car. The second one is good too. If you have doubts try experimenting with different angles. Then you can decide what photo was the best.
