Great set of pics. Of the Set, my favorite would be #2 due to the colors along with the tilt of the pic

I like those, I like #5. Can't quite really say what I like about it, but just has a cool vibe to it.

Great series! I like your angles. I need to break the habit of straight horizon and try it out

I agree...love the colours in #2. As for the angle, though, it's a good idea...but I think the contrasting lines because of the brick just makes it a bit confusing. I find my eyes looking all over the photo without finding a real point to focus on...if that makes sense.

Who else does not like the off angle pics? I really like them and hope others do too!
