I can't decide, Portrait or Landscape?

[DaveBromley]

Portrait for me, seems more striking, the landscape feels a little diluted by comparison. Both great shots though Gary, i must be blind however as i cant see any face lol.

Landscape for me. I can't see the face either.

 

[juttle]

Portrait, seems to be more 'dramatic' somehow...

 

[wattsy]

I like the portrait it's more interesting (for me)

 

[sycamour]

Landscape for me and Voting still neck & neck!

 

[Imagedude]

Split the difference, learn to love the much neglected square format.

 

[copper_head]

I like the portrait best, but nice shot either way.

 

[Wayland]

I looked at doing it square but it just didn't work for me.

 

[dwardo]

Just looked at the poll, seems we are not much help.

 

[Stringmaker]

Oh yes we are!

 

[Wayland]

It does go to show why I couldn't decide,

which is very unusual for me.

 

[brancho]

Sorry Gary its not holding my attention. I dont get the scale of it. How big is this.

Some sky may help.

 

[Toddy]

The landscape is like some great beast trying to free itself from the crust ....if that's the image you want to portray, then that's the shot; if it's not, the portrait gives a better appreciation of the height of the scree slide.

[WULF]

Landscape for me,looks better imo.

 

[Wayland]

Sorry Gary its not holding my attention. I dont get the scale of it. How big is this.

Some sky may help.

The scrubby vegetation you cab see near the top is knee high heather if that helps.

I think a sense of scale is one of the things missing.

 

[Ogri the trog]

Portrait for me.
The height, depth and field perception of the longer scree slope in mid frame being a better composition that the landscape with it's "more of the same across the frame" composition.

It's not a very good description of what I have in my mind but there you go.

[Harvestman]

Landscape for me. Somehow, in portrait, the lower half of the image is not as strong as the upper half, so the image looks unbalanced.

 

[maddave]

Portrait has better interest ?I feel

 

[blacktimberwolf]

Landscape for me .............it looks like a fossilized octopus by the way.

Sorry about the clumsy touch pad drawing but I think you get the idea !!!

 

[Macaroon]

I've really spent some time looking at both of these, and were the decision mine, I'd refuse to make the choice and treat these as two distinct and seperate images - not a lot of help there, sorry.....atb mac
