car looks great. photographs? not so much.
indirect or diffused flash would have helped. did you use on-camera? or on-hot-shoe-on-camera? get a flash bracket with a detachable hot-shoe-extension-cable and get that flash away from the camera - lighting up the grass looks bad. your flash-vs-exposure-time ratio is way off too, hence why it “looks” like a shot that uses a flash.

agreed on the grass photos, obviously - but that one I commented on earlier, the second picture in the original post I actually really like the “mistake” of the flash vs. exposure time. For some reason it makes the picture look more dramatic, I can’t put my finger on it, something about it is really cool - but I knew that the picture was taken incorrectly by any normal photography standards.
