I'm not sure what kind of response this post may receive but will try anyway.
I'd like some input from drivers. Trying to determine a favored composition for truck photography. Do you prefer a tighter shot featuring the tractor with more tractor detail, or a wider shot featuring the "rig" that might lose some overall detail???? Thanks in advance for any input.
Low Res Examples ...
Tight
Wide (1:2 panoramic)

i like them both, sorry.

I like a 3/4 profile that includes the trailer falling out of the field of focus.

For what it is worth-imho-composition is dependent on WHAT you are trying to convey--if you are Highlighting the truck---then a tighter shot is the answer--and if it is the scenery(background) then wider shot would be the answer..all very subjective though

A new technique/composition I'm working on. A little bit of skewing due to the angle but I find it acceptable ...
An after sunset capture ..

Looking good!
That's how I like it. -
the daytime top photo is very acceptable, and you are drawn into the photo by the blurred background, road reflection in the bumper, and the adhearance to the rule of thirds. If the peterbuilt logos were more in focus and a star filter used to highlite the sunburst on the hood, maybe stop the rotation of the wheels, keep the movement of the trees to provide and slight abstraction in composition. Solid color saturation makes one give more than a passing glance you hit the mark with photo. It almost feels like the truck is comming off the page.

I prefer to not do a lot of photoshop work to "modify" images, except in rare isolated cases to remove background clutter and other imperfections. And I certainly don't want to have to photoshop heavily, 40 images a day to create a certain look that can't naturally be captured. (That was considered at one time to create an exaggerated tree blur) And would it not look odd to have little/no wheel rotation and lots of tree blur? But thanks for the input and will take all under advisement.
