an excellent tip Kerry, when you compare both shots, the top one is really an ordinary shot but the second shot below, it gets you to examine the image more closely.
I'll keep that in mind,
Thanks
I bet the Angled shot wouldn't be as interesting if the photographer hadn't moved to include more of the side of the train car.
And also therefore get rid of the car on the left.
The first shot has the compositional creativity of a mugshot. And it neglects the best feature of shooting railways: perspective! Even without a pair of rails vanishing on the horizon, the second photo gives much more depth by including the side of the car. And the tilt gives the sense of motion, too. Good tip, Kerry.
Meh, both photos are bad. The "fashion tilt" is a bad gimmick and ranks up there with overdone HDR.
To each his own, there is a time and a place for pretty much everything, even overdone HDR if that is the intended effect.
Thanks for the tip and demo

It's not simply changing the angle, it's taking on a new perspective. Maybe there are better examples as the 2nd photo is a bit overdone.
Thanks for the tips.It really works.Keep sharing such informative and useful tips here.
