1. I like the square actually. It seems to emphasise its crisp perfection.

   1. The square seems to have it.

2. Wow. The more I look, the more boggled my mind. I think I lean toward the square, but the flower commands either way.

   1. They are very mechanical looking flowers for me.

3. I absolutely love Passion flowers, great photo

   1. I’m glad to have given you a little floral treat 🙂

4. Definitely the square for me 🙂

   1. The square seems the most popular.

5. Portrait 🙂

   1. I almost always prefer portrait shots of flowers, unless they are part of a scene.

6. The second one. You have let the flower dictate

   1. The flower drew me in. 🙂

7. I think if the center of the flower were more symmetrical the squate

   1. the square would have worked for me, so I prefer the portrait in this case.

      1. I needed to have approached the square one directly on for you and me both, but I needed to keep something massively distracting largely out of shot.

8. I’d like the first, but it doesn’t feel square because of the off-centeredness (is that a word?), which I like better in the portrait.

   1. The symmetry of the flower is unforgiving.

9. Portrait, though the square would work better if cropped even tighter. An amazing flower especially up close.

   1. I liked the outer petals and was not convinced the shot was sharp enough to crop tightly. It’s such a deep structural flower that I decided to have more of it roughtly in focus rather than heving any one bit truly sharp. I am still feeling amazed by your turquoise flower.

10. Square. Makes that very showy flower pop even more. Fun to see them side by side. I’ve been playing around with the square vs. rectangle cropping, and some shorts really do look better with rectangular frame. For others, it’s the square. Fascinating!

    1. Some pictures really don’t like being cropped square at all. I think there should be a day after the month ends where we are encouraged to share all the ones we couldn’t bear to crop.

       1. That would be fun to see.

       2. You are right. Some pictures are better as rectangles.
