It's very difficult to say which I like better - the landscape or portrait format. However, I think - after careful consideration - that this one has a slight edge. They're both great photos, though.

Beautiful colour and composition! Funny how and why landscape format always works better!

I wouldn't say that landscape format always works better, but - for me - it does here. I think that's because this photo says "wide open spaces" and that's the picture I always get in my head when I think of America. I know there are plenty of parts of the US that are crowded and cramped, but when I think of the landscape of America I see Andrew Wyeth's paintings and hear Dvořák's "New World" symphony.

I like having that space around my subjects in most landscapes... I actually have a couple close cropped shots of this barn that really aren't bad but... not as interesting I think. Perhaps if the sky in the vertical took on more structured and detailed look in the clouds and more dramatic... it could have made vertical more interesting.

Either way... thanks everyone for the compliments and Chica... thank you kindly <as I bow my head>
