These camera angles really help “sell” the shot, and are so much more
interesting (to me, at least) than clinical, shots from a helocopter. I’m
not saying that pics from above, etc are bad and shouldn’t be taken as well,
I’m just saying that the shots which show off a building MOC the best are
from a fig’s perspective (at an angle) and should definitely be included.
This isn’t a knock on you, Jonathan; I guess I’m just taking this opportunity
here to emplore all contestants to take more shots from these angles, in
order to present their entries in the most visually pleasing way.

This is excellent feedback, John. Thanks! My main goal is realism and your
method and reasoning will add to what I want to accomplish. I think I am a
pretty good builder and don’t want my pictures to detract from the actual
creation...I want to acheive the exact opposite. I want the pictures to add to
the element. Being that this is a contest entry, only adds to that goal.
And, no worries on the potential ‘knock’. None at all. I come here to share
and learn and I greatly appreciate anything that can help me improve building,
presentation or otherwise.
