    There are two things that bother me about this poster:

    1. If she is floating in midair, why does she feel the need to pull one leg up higher than the other?
    2. If her right leg is bent, why doesn’t her coat stick out where her bent knee would be?

    It looks like a cheaply-done bad photoshop job where they cropped the right leg and moved it up to make it look bent.

      One leg higher is a very common pose for flying characters. Her knee doesn’t need to stick out very far for this pose, not more than the drape of the coat suggests.

      It’s not uncommon when having your hands in the pockets of an open long coat, that the garment is pulled forward, lessening the drape effect that would be expected with a slightly bent leg in this example.

      Also, I’m looking at it a bit longer and it seems like a cutout of someone leaning against the wall with their leg up. Look how far forward her left leg is in the opening.

      Its that what do you do with your hands thing. What do you do with your legs if they are just hanging there while you are floating. Has this never happened to you? /s
