My point is about the movement of light, not the sitters gaze or angle of view etc...just light flow. Someone earlier on critiques was nice enough and smart enough to flip the painting being crit'd and I felt (and I think the artist) felt more comfortable with the flip. This, I recall, was about more than light flow but the "fix" seemed impressive for whatever reason.
