First off, I commend your efforts. It takes a certain degree of courage to first get out and shoot in a parking lot and then post those shots for a critique.
My favorite pic of the pack is the gas cap one. The reason I like it is because there's no clutter. The viewer has something to focus on. That the background is out of focus only adds to this, it's what a controlled depth of field is good for.
Space:
This leads to one of the most obvious suggestion, be mindful of the background. A background can help tell a story or it can sometimes detract from the subject. Be careful with foliage rising out of the car line (or people).
Line & Space:
Aside from the above,
Line should be considered as well as
Space. When shooting in a parking lot there are plenty of opportunities for using Negative Space.
Thee are other Elements of Design we can all take into account when trying to improve our photography but I'll not bombard you with them. I hope these few suggestions help and that you'll look more into these elements.
