Does orientation matter? The same image?

My first look was little more than a glance but enough to have a more comfortable feeling toward the second. Something left me with a less comfortable feeling about the first.
I continued reading all the responses and at this point had to go back and study the pictures again.
I quickly realized it was the left to right water flow that was calming and natural to me. Right to left flow seems "against the grain". The position of the bird has no effect on my reaction.
I am right handed in all I do.

I like both of them, but I didn't take the picture.
If I had taken the picture I would have to chose the one that is the original, since in my mine I would recall the direction of the water flow, how the scene was in reality.
I dislike selfish people take and the picture is a mirror image. I set my phone to automatically rotate the image to look natural, (real).

I did that to client's portrait. She liked it. But she then was getting confused, she didn't know it was reversed at first.
Then I gave her the correct one.
She framed them both and put them on her desk and watched the reaction of others who saw her pictures.

Not based on “rules”, I seem to prefer the 2nd image. No real explanation, just preference. Re the flow of the water; toward the bird, but that would be the case in a flip. Didn’t you tell us in your explanation that you flipped it from left to right. Based on that, the bird on the left is the original. But, I just woke up so I may be absolutely full of it.

I like the first one better, but if I had seen the second one first--well I just don't know.

To me, either one works.

There have been discussions about whether we see from left to right or from right to left. Here is an image which after cropping I simply flipped from left to right, I sense it has changed. Do you see the difference and which do you prefer and why. Bonus points if you can tell me which was the original orientation?

I find the second one more pleasing. Does it matter if you are left or right handed? I prefer to place pitchers with the handle on the right, maybe because I am right handed. Is that why I like the second picture better, perhaps?

If I remember correctly, there is a LONG history of published photography being flipped for one reason or another or accidentally and people would figure it out and complain. Those usually had lettering or other Man-Made "Tells"
that would give it away.
Pure nature shots certainly have a better chance of getting away transposed.
As far as which bird 🐦 looks better, my thoughts go to the context the prints would be displayed in.
You could hang the 2 prints facing each other, possibly looking at a shot of something else that would help tell a story...

The "original" only matters to realists.

I believe the 'orientation' is best decided according to how the 'viewer's' orientation has been formed.... reading left to right, right to left, etc. What looks right to me (left to right), might look incorrect to a person who reads (or is oriented) to reading from right to left. Both are correct.
Hollywood, in their action sequences most often uses action entering from the left and going to the right, but even then, it's not a hard fast rule.
If it look right, it's right:o)

Probably the case Longshadow plus they’ll be the ones who do all the hassling because rules weren’t followed.
As we’re learning as we get older some rules can be broken
