Default Graffiti Pics

I've been trying to take better pictures featuring the Z. I found a spot and took quite a few. Here are some of them. All opinions welcome.

not feeling the graffiti in the background. A nice background picture of a lake, mountains, park.......just about anything else. My opinion

Thanks for the comments. This location was by some baseball fields under a bridge adjacent to rr tracks. Interesting thoughts.

I guess I found the area appealing because I grew up in the city. Although I don’t believe in vandalism. I do see the art in Graffiti. (This was not my art)This spots remoteness was nearby and allowed me to play around.

i kind of think some nature shots can be kind of boring. To me the urban shots bring out the rough edges and power of the Corvette.

I get hung up by a train going to and leaving work. Sometimes 45 min. wait. It is amazing what people can do with a can of spray paint. Train cars can look pretty neat while moving.

I think it’s definitely different from what most would choose for a background, I tend to make lefts when everyone else is making rights though. Looks good man, and your car with what you’ve got on it, the color and contrast looks dope!! First vette I’ve seen where I like the decal(assuming it’s not paint) either way look good man!

I think your pictures look great. Love the car and I personally like pics of our cars in places other than mountainside, beach, etc.

good job!

Actually, I was going to complain about the green in the photos - try to crop that out on the graffiti shots.
