I do not see anything that is stressful about the posture on the right. I'm not sure where you are getting this from. His knees appear to be hyperextended a bit, but his upper body is in a good position.
A posture "between the two" would be a forward-head, slouched shoulder posture. The ribs would probably drop as well. Most people are incapable of holding the posture on the right. It does not mean that is a bad posture. It means most people need to work on the length-tension relationships of their tissues.
Its not that that posture is stresful or bad but consciously forcing a posture is stressful, tensing everything to hold a certain posture instead of being relaxed.
I can tell that that model is holding the right one. im critical of the people putting these photos togeather becuase it doesnt set a good example.
Many people would see these examples and start concously holding themselves which causes problems and the posture needs to be looked at from another vantage point which is complex and requires an holistic approach and knowledge.
