 :To help this discussion I've posted the two options above. I prefer the one I've labelled Option 1 on pretty much the grounds Malljaja does: the face-on composition in Option 2 isn't very good, especially as half of the face is in shadow. I also don't like the somewhat ""heroic""/bombastic nature of the attempted composition: Hitler was a total fuckwit, and we shouldn't be using a blatantly propaganda image of him. Option 1's composition is superior (a more natural pose, but still showing the subject as a puffed up jerk to modern eyes), and the image quality is much better.   "
