My winter screen saver is generally a photo reminding me of a nice, warm summer day. I took this photo last June and it's presently my iMac's screen saver. However, my synced iPad decided to display the photo in portrait mode effectively cropping the landscape format into a portrait format.
Which format do you think provides the better picture? Why? Would you crop either, further? I'm interested because several friends had differing opinions.
To quote film director John Ford in the movie The Fablemans ...., "You can put the horizon at the bottom or the top ..., never in the middle". I'm testing this theory with the attached rendition of your picture. I did not crop the picture but used PS to stretch the canvas vertically putting the horizon in the upper 1/3 of the frame. I'd be interested in hearing comments, one way or the other.
