Awkward v. classic bird angles


One thing models and actors frequently know is their best angles.

I know a few people (who also happen to be beauties) who attribute
their 59 million fabulous photos to knowing their best angles.
I'm pretty sure that for them, that's only part of the story.
However, I experimented a tiny bit with this, and it really can make a difference.

Well, this weekend, I learned that some birds, also,
have more and less flattering angles
(from a silly-human perspective, of course).

Witness: the greater white-fronted goose (a.k.a. specklebelly goose).

Classic shot, flattering:
