Vertical vs Horizontal
What do the users think? which landscapes are better/more compelling? Show me your best pictures and let them speak for themselves - of course state whether you prefer horizontal or vertical.

This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

Beautiful! Vertical just is better.
For me, it depends on the subject. If it's a generally up and down subject or contains layers stacked from front to back, then I go vertical. If it's a sweeping landscape or the interest is spread a little wider, then I go horizontal.
Below are two examples that show when I choose each method, though I wouldn't say they are my "best" pictures, just two of my better images that show what I'm talking about. Sorry, I know this isn't really letting them "speak for themselves", but I don't think it's quite as simple as one being inherently better than the other.
