Hey guys. Took this photo a week ago and some people have said that a square crop suits it better. What do youthink?

Square. I don't like the negative space right of the bottle on the landscape.

My thoughts exactly when I looked at the two.

I think myself I like the landscape one more. I don't know why, though, as I understand that the space at the sides is lost space. Makes a good desktop background though! :D

Square, but not cropped quite so tight. Nice image, though.

I was thinking a little less tight top and bottom. But I'm being picky.

I like the square one more than the landscape. It could also work as a portrait. I could see advertising text above the bottle.

I totally agree. Portrait with text, it would look like a full page magazine ad. Give it a try and repost.
