What does it mean when the angle of elevation is too large?

Generally speaking, an excessively large upward angle means that the head is tilted back at an excessively large angle in painting or photography. This usually happens when a painter or photographer attempts to emphasize the structure and lines of a character's jaw or neck through exaggerated forms. While this angle can give your work a unique beauty and artistry, excessive use of upward angles can cause your work to look unnatural or overly exaggerated.
