Thanks for the photo. So that looks like you were about 5 feet or so in front of the mannequin, so at that particular distance, the face will appear wider due to lens distortion. In conjunction with good lighting and him looking up, you have a great photo there. Six feet and beyond, you'd start getting a different look.

There are certain angles that are flatting to Vader, and you'd be surprised that even a Rubie's with the right amount of car paint can fool people at first glance. Usually they involve looking off to the side or looking upwards, or a combination thereof. Looking right into the camera with less perspective distortion usually provides more structural information.

Still, you've got a great setup there and you should be proud!
