nice photos!

i must say, however, i really despise the angled shots (such as the ferrari pics). i don't find it artistic in any way and it seems to be a local favorite among amateur automotive photographers. the only thing that it causes is turning my head sideways. there is a place for it but not to the extent people are doing it.

the so-called "visual imbalance" or "tension" only works if the angle is slightly off from the horizontal or vertical. then your eye is trying to correct the slight imperfection focusing all attention on the subject of your picture. the moment i have to turn my head, however, to complete or finalize a visual experience, this technique becomes not only ineffective but distracting.
