Here is my entry for Paula’s (Lost In Translation blog) Thursday Special challenge. This week her theme is Portrait vs. Landscape.
Which one do you prefer, the portrait or the landscape.
Portrait of sky and tulip field.

Portrait… I like the big sky

The landscape one lacks the bottom part, which is cool. So I prefer the portrait one. Although you could do several vertical photos and combine them into a landscape-oriented pano.

I prefer the portrait. It’s “tighter”, and easier to look at.. More detail is visible, and the contrast between the sky and the field is far more dramatic.

Generally speaking, I tend to like photos in landscape and that’s true for this one too. Although I do agree with Bushboy. The version in portrait does give the photo great depth along the rows of flowers.

The landscape is more truthful to a world that is full, the portrait stretches one’s ambitions. 🙂

Portrait. Even before I saw the landscape, I thought it was perfect already. If their positions were switched, who knows if I’d say the same thing. 🙂

This last batch of people all liked the Portrait best. You are right, whichever you see first wins. 😀 I like the landscape, but only slightly because the portrait has the sky.

I think it depends upon what your subject is. I rarely use portrait mode as I feel that landscape gives you the full picture.

So beautiful both ways, but I think the sky wins in the portrait. Such a great day for the sky AND the fields AND you 🙂

Oh, it’s hard to choose Cee. The scope of the landscape is impressive and I am usually a landscape person. But I think that i prefer the portrait this time – I like the extra bit of foreground and the striking sky.

I so agree with you. 😀

I prefer the landscape because of its width and it shows the majesty of the tulip fields and the sky clouds. I like to use landscape when the subject is being featured, and when it deals with height, as in the view off a tall skyscraper, or detailing a tall tree.

I like the landscape too. I think the clouds adds to the photo.
