I don't understand why people take pictures like this. Beautifull car and paint that would look even better with pictures taken landscape instead of portrait?

Go look at the pictures. The car and paint are fantastic but due to the orientation of the camera/phone part of the car is cut off in the picture. It would just look nicer if the camera/phone was turned 90 degrees. No problem either way, but it would be a nicer picture oriented the other way. Doesn't take away from the nice paint or color. Either way have a nice day!

Yeah, bothers me which is why I posted. Simple thing, and improves the shots a great deal. If you're proud of your car, why not show it off in its best light?

Funny I quoted someone else who said it first and I just agreed with him? Still a great color and car. Still don't see how I was being disrespectfull. Apologies to all whose feeling I hurt. Just trying to make a suggestion, sorry forgot where I was!
