Proper Head Angle

[Don Thompson]

I am not really looking for a critique as such but looking more for advice on proper head angle. I have combined four images into one (I hope this is acceptable) all showing different head angles of basically the same pose. Please tell me which is correct if any.

[Julie Brown]

I vote for the one on the bottom left.

Hi Don - technically they are all correct - want the head parallel or angled slightly towards the sensor - that said for my personal taste #4. (Which is left hand bottom - I count clockwise - just dawned on me some people might not count that way and assume I meant bottom right)
Here is a link to a article in Educational Resources - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php?t=7781

Bottom left looks best to me.

Thanks everyone for your input and the link. I will read when I get time.

And Julie, a fellow Hoosier.

Thanks everyone for your input, and Lance thanks for the link. I will read later.

Bottom left for me too. Not only for the best HA, but also it is the one best turned towards the light angle....

[Don Thompson]

Thanks Daniel. I agree with the light angle and the LLC being the best overall.

Don,

Greetings. Very interesting set & question. I think Daniel has it right with the light angle. You are positioned with the sun behind you and the catch light tells the tale of HA and light, matched with the soft shadow. The LLC one looks well aligned with the body with the best light for me.

Cheers,

-Michael-

Another vote for LLC. Good light with low angle...
