Even when the subject is sitting, it’s important for at least one leg to have some degree of support and appear to be grounded. Typically, this isn’t an issue in most chairs—but it can be if, for example, both legs are dangling over the edge of a bar stool. Bending one leg slightly so a heel or foot can rest against the stool will avoid the mirrored leg position and create support for the lower half of the body. The same thing is true when sitting at the edge of any drop where the subject’s feet can’t touch the ground.
