The angles are way to harsh, they also dont fit the style of the scene. Its almost nauseating. Too much of something is a bad thing. Less angle, and find a better flowing angle.

they are nice photos.. But... angles are not 'artsy' they simply make the photo harder to look at.

two and four are good. Three needs a little less angle and it'd be a great pic (nice background!)

Re: Muscle Machines R34 Skyline(let me kno wat u think about my photo skills plz:)

Lighting is key. The first one has back lighting so the objective in the picture is dark. Also, I dont like that angle, it doesnt flow well. Perhaps the other way instead.

Second one is decent, it just has a few minor things to be worked on, lighting, angle, and setup.

Also, quit hosting on cardomain as the big logo detracts from your work. Try imageshack.us

thanx for the feedback...i dont really 'host' on cardomain..i have a cardomain page and most of the pics i post in here i would copy and paste. also, the gallery on this site is messed up and i cant upload pics. imageshack is too much hassle for me...i'm gonna keep using cardomain like i usually do until the gallery on here is fixed

Scroll down to the bottom after you upload on ImageShack. It will say direct link. Copy that, paste it into AF's image tags.

Try to keep the horizon level. It is very distracting being at an angle.
Back lighting can be an effective way to make a cool or artsy look, but don't over use it. It gets old quick.
Try setting your flash to the lowest setting and using it when you are back lighting, often that can help balance out the contrast. That's one cool thing with digital photography, "film" is free... - Mark
