That's the second one like that I've seen. The first was attatched to an interview done in California near the desert, and the implication was that Wood had rolled in the dirt in the desert and then flopped onto his back, looking backwards at the camera (feet furthest from the camera in other words), for the shot. The smudging was different for that picture, the lighting was less murky, and his hair was a bit longer and curlier, but still not Frodo length.

I think it's just a photographers' method of getting those blue eyes to pop out of the picture at you.

This picture looks upside down to me. I think he's flat on his back, looking over his head at the camera. That would get the angle and the arch backwards.
