Head Angle

[Alfred Forns]

How is this for a head angle? Does it work? Would you keep it?

Curious as to your thoughts since we talk and stress so much the head angle.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Interesting - when I first looked at the thumbnail, I thought this was going to be a full face front view, not the exact opposite.
Would I keep it? Yes
Would I print it for my wall? No
I think I'd keep it so I could send people an e-card with the bird saying something like "Here's looking at you kid!" or "Looking good!" or "Just can't get my head around this." or ...
Happy New Year

Neat one Alfred. I am sure you took this on purpose but it reminds me of times I get home and am surprised sometimes by the different poses and postures that I was able to get.
Would I keep it? It wouldn't matter since I have so many now and only a few are really good "family jewels". Dave

Awesome background. :)

I love Gail's suggestions.

This is a throw back to the duck-tail hair style from the 50's...blue jeans, white t-shirt grease and a comb in the back pocket...:D a definite keeper for sure...:):cool: LOOKING GOOD...

For me sometimes different works. This bird did everything but give a good head position so I went with the flow and did the back !!! Will keep !! :)

"giving me the ole cold shoulder!" you'd have to be able to use this on some kind of card!!

I agree with Gail...it's a great image for humorous reasons but I certainly wouldn't print it. Now, if you had even a little bit of a side head turn so you could see part of an eye and a bit of beak I think I'd have to rethink my answer...but no eye contact at all? That makes about as much sense as standing your family backwards and taking a family portrait!

I think I'm with Gail here. I think that if it is a portrait of the bird that you want to show, then head angle could be important. But if it's not, then perhaps head angle should not matter that much.

I also have a photo kind of like that, but I took mine on purpose (not that the target was not cooperating) because I think there's something interesting that most may not see. May be I'd post it one day.

Happy New Year, Al and everybody !!
