What do you think? I shot this in Brenham with my Canon 5D and 70-200 2.8L IS lens. Thanks for looking!

Good reflections in it & a nice shot. I'd turn the wheels the other way, though. ;)

Why would you turn the wheels

Everyone knows what rubber looks like & it shows off the rims better?

I like the wheels turned towards the camera personally. Otherwise you get a "hole" in the front of the car. This way you see a bit of tread as well.

LOL It's a Corvette C6.

In this particular shot, I would have liked it if the wheels were straight. Beautiful blue nonetheless.

I agree with the others on turning the wheel but you do have some really quality photos in your gallery. I happen to like this photo alot better. Very excellent!

Nice shot. I would either turn the wheels the other way or forward. All I noticed with the wheels turned they way they are is how much dirt/gravel is on the tire. If I was shooting the pic from the rear then I would turn the wheels out as you have it. I have a little more HP than you do but I think the newer technology would beat me. Rod

No, but you could have a c6 that is a ZO6. Rod

Thanks for the comments everyone. I agree with everyone about turning the front wheel. I saw this place driving by and turned in for a quick shot. I thought the wheel would look weird turning towards the building rather than away...but the dirt and gravel does distract. Thanks again. Nice to see all of the Corvette folks!
