Well the angle does matter. if you snap a pic from below, the foot will appear raised above the horse's body and you will perceive that

The rider on the bottom, her legs are about 3 inches from the bottom of the horses chest.
On the other hand, if you take a shot from above, you will see the foot dangling below the horse's body.

The angle of the photo is not significant enough for the perception of depth to be misread.
That's your judgment. It can be misleading. The two pics are not even taken from the same distance for a comparison.
I don't blame you for not believing me. People are convinced beyond doubt that NASA didn't land men on the moon precisely because of such deceptive perceptions.

So, you're admitting that it was taken right in the middle, looking straight, with no angle. Good job.

In a dressage competition, which this seems to be, rather than a jumping competition, the horses head should be positioned the way it is in picture B. No shit.
Wrong.
When the head is positioned like it is in photo B, the horse is thrown off balance, he uses muscles that should only be used for swallowing food/water, it puts tremendous strain on his neck, it prevents him from using his hind legs properly, etc.
A is correct no matter which way you look at it. In dressage, the Poll should be the highest point (like in photo A)
Photo B - Hyperflexation/rollkur
Photo A - Correct flexing/posture

As for the photo angle and horse size.... the horse in B is actually turning so his body is tilted, which is why the riders foot looks to be higher up on the body.

Doing a little research and I would like to know which of the 2 pictures looks better,regarding the position of the head and neck of the horse.
Pick A or B and explain why, or just pick one without an explaination if you're a lazy ass.
I'm asking in the c0r mainly because I know not a lot of you ride. I need the opinions of people that dont ride or know much about horses in general.
Looks better for what dating or riding?
if dating i thin A becuase its goodlooking and handsome, If for riding I would go for B becuase I its thinner and can run faster.
just my couple of pennys.

pay close attention to the neck of the camel, its in a U shape upwards. Plus its prefered since a uzbikistani boy is stealing this cammel and running off with the collections. This adds to the composure of the picture.
