Crop from an outdoor fashion shoot...
While the angle is certainly not "Traditional", I do like how this turned out. Any comments?

YOUNG MALE MALAYAN TIGER
These are a highly endangered species, and the rescue center has this young male tiger, which they hope will breed with their already existing female Malayan tiger.

BLACK LEOPARD
A new arrival at the rescue center. She was very friendly and very flirty, rolling about on her back and meowing, then staring at you as if she might be hungry. A magnificently beautiful animal

I would avoid having the elbow point at the camera. It has that foreshortened look.
As far as the angle, I don't see anything wrong or bad with it.
Thanks, Eddie. I see what you mean about the elbow. I had not noticed that. Here is another crop on that same shot, and looking at the expanded version, I don't notice the foreshortened elbow as much.
Sorry, I should have wrote my comment a little clearer. The foreshortening isn't so much with the elbow. It has to do with the perceived length of a limb, in this case her arm. It's much more noticeable on the 2nd photo. Her arm on the left is much shorter than the right. Looks like she has a dwarf arm; sometimes it can look like a stump.
The arm on the right, IMO, is the "proper" way. Not because it's higher, but, because she's "spreading" her arm. Notice how much longer (and thinner) it is compared to the left. Had she done a similar thing to the arm on the left, that arm and forearm would have looked longer and thinner.
Noted. Agree.
