Thank you for the icons. They are beautiful. One thing I keep noticing in these is the particular angle of all the head tilts. It really seems to be pretty uniform. Is there a significance to this?

I think, the tilt of the head is to express attention and obedience to Christ, Who is often the central figure, or to other person of God, as in the Pentecost icon.
