I'm sure you know that you're not going to please everyone lolol. I have always loathed angle shots. From cars to whatever. I like to just look at it head on without tilting my head to see it.
I have a similar shot to #2 that I took a couple of years ago. Only this track crossed over a river about 300 below it. It's below. First pic is a side shot of and the second is me on it. Later, QD.
