Both shots are great but I think I like the vertical the best.

I like the wider crop from an aesthetic perspective. It's actually a very nice shot, with interesting angles and lighting.

Also, one could get the impression from the tighter crop that the skin is actually the upper lip of an older Hellyan taking a chomp out of the babies in their nest, and we just cannot have that kind of false impression left with the viewer, now can we? A few holes eaten in the skin of the mothership or a more raggedy edge would go far in guiding the viewer to the correct interpretation regardless of crop.

LOL - my yard. This is actually a pesky blackberry thornbush. The green things are unripened berries.
