Many of you have probably seen all three before at some point. But I like these kind of angled photos as they really show relief and toning in a far better way. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you enjoy them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]994932[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>T.
