The first picture, where you shot it at a rather sharp angle to the glass plane, looks like it is distorting the length and the shape of the head and snout, notably to my eye anyway. The second and third pics appear to reflect this feature more realistically. I suppose it is the first picture that throws you off more than the other two.
Vaillantii do feature larger eyes than other species in the genus.
