Can I take you to town on the photo? :twisted:

... nah, there's not that much to be picky about. But be mindful of what's behind your car, as it looks like there is a light out of its rear and a blue pillar out of its front.
Also, try a longer focal length, 22mm is a bit on the wide side and will cause (generally unpleasant) barrel distortion. At f/4 (which is what you used) a longer FL will also give more pleasant DOF.

Edit looks good Matt. Observing your surroundings is something that will come naturally over time.
