It looks to me that this is a question without an answer possibly posed to see who is paying attention. I took a photo-composition class more than a generation ago that had one assignment – 300 5x7s of a parking meter to be critiqued in batches of 100 – so with that in mind – I need more to choose from. ☺

I would like to join other commentators and thank you for the Galapagos series – very, very, instructive.

The front on for me seems to focus more on the totally freaky nose!

I would definitely try and shoot both versions if I had the chance, but I will go with the side as my favorite. I like the detritus on his face it adds to the character!
