looking back

Indicates a subject of the image is looking behind their normal plane of vision. This could mean they are turning their body, head, or only their eyes to look behind themselves. The subject's gaze should be directed fully or almost fully backwards over the shoulder, anywhere from 135 to 180 degrees behind them relative to their front.

Oftentimes combined with from behind and looking at viewer, and also sideways glance if the character's body is partly facing away.

If the character has both of their eyes closed, use facing back instead.
