Same. That's why almost all of my pics are side shots or close to it. The front 3/4 can look akward, especially if you're taking the pic from too low and not enough side profile is showing. Sometimes mine looks like it has Z4 proportions. Basically I've come to the conclusion that the farther forward/rearward the pic is taken from, the higher up it has to be held. Otherwise at least 50% of the shape has to be showing the side. And then there's that awkward point where the opposing headlight/tailight is juuuuust barely peaking into the frame lol. I just avoid that angle at all costs.
