Common camera framing
Description: A standing face-to-face position with the receiving partner's leg extended high — calf or ankle on the penetrating partner's shoulder — in a near-standing-split.
Variations: Leg on the shoulder or held at full extension in the partner's hand; wall support behind.
On camera: A flexibility showpiece; the vertical leg line dominates the frame.
AI design considerations: One figure with a near-vertical leg extension against an upright partner — the extreme leg angle must stay anatomically plausible at the hip.
