Of course, and Anita...they are both correct ;-)

Generally I would choose the white palmed symbols for both cases,  
because in the long run it is easier to read...when reading fast, we  
found that the white palms were the easiest symbols to read...

The overhead view is harder to read...the reader has to  
think...ok..."I am looking down on my hands and my baby fingers are  
to the floor"....

when the white palm is clearly toward the chest with little or no  
thinking...so for publishing that was an unspoken rule that is  
helpful...

but both are correct...
