turned

I think turned looks a little more relaxed

Another vote for turned. Adds a touch of interest.

Is this going to be a user or a shelf ornament?
If you plan to use it or if you want to represent the look of a user, make it straight.
A duck looking off to the side represents one looking for danger,
A duck looking straight ahead represents one fully calm, and likely taking a relaxing dump.
The best decoy makers make the eyes heavily lidded to mimic that very image.

I agree most old wooden decoys were head straight. So if trying to match the old look that’s the ticket. User, not so much in my opinion. Only time I’ve seen a raft of ducks all looking straight ahead was right before they take off for one reason or another.

Or....cut the neck down and snuggle that head into the body, straight ahead, that's a relaxed duck...
