I liked the 'inappropriate' head angle here. I have images with better eye contact and a flatter head angle, but this one, I felt portrayed a different mood.
Shot in Ranganathittu, India.
This is full frame.
Canon 1000D, 300f/4L IS
SS 1/1250 (+1/3)
f/4
ISO 400
It works as a mood image. A crop from the left and the bottom would dramatize the "looking out to sea" feeling.

I think this angle would be the only one that works with the quality and direction of light you were working with. I've gotta' agree with Artie about taking some off the left side to exaggerate the "distant stare" of your subject.
