Ya, central. You can tell by the fact that they're all in the centre of the pic.
 
Centrals! you can tell by the way the spikes on their heads go
 
definately centrals by the v shape on the back of their head, easterns have a triangle shape with a flat back
 
But what about top left he's the only one with curved spikes at the back of his head
 
first two are hard to tell but is it a trick question? is it just a few taken at different angles or are they all seperate dragons
 
None look like 100% pure easterns. All look like centrals, maybe some with some eastern blood. Easterns are very easy to distinguish.

Eastern Bearded dragon photo - Alexander Dudley photos at pbase.com

This is a really good photo of one. When you see one, you KNOW its eastern. Some centrals have some eastern type characteristics, mostly being a leaner type animal... but in general an eastern stands out quite significantly when you see one. The size of the scales on the nose, the shape of the eye ridges, the spikes not just around the head but down the back and especially the base of the tail. Their proportions as well, the tail of the eastern is long and thick at the base but tapers off rapidly and is very spikey.
Centrals are significantly smoother, chubbier, their head seems smaller in proportion to their body and their tail is smaller looking in proportion. Easterns are very impressive animals.
 
They are all different apart from the bottom 3 photos on the left vertical are the same lizard and the big black one on the rock is the same one as the one underneath the first photo. But I think they are both eastern swell as the first one. It's not a trick question I genuinely want to know. Is size a big factor in telling the difference

That is a great photo very distinctive of an eastern bearded dragon this photo helpt alot can anyone put up a very distinctive and a very typical central bearded dragon photo as good as that one please?.

That shows all the major features at once
