Portraits and vertical photos

I note that every time I upload portraits, they have not success. I know that it is a site of wallpapers, but the portraiture is important in photography. As the quality of uploaded photos increase, can we imagine that this site becomes also a site of photos. In this case it would be necessary to permit the vertical picture uploading. What do you think about?

I think the problem is that what makes a good photograph isn't alway the same thing that makes a good wallpaper. Having to stay within the 4:3 screen ratio is rather limiting I grant you, however I have little use for an image that doesn't fit onto the screen.


I think the solution might be to create a separate non-wallpaper photography section. However then the site starts to veer off into a different direction, when do we stop it?

Couldn't you place your portrait on a background and then upload it?

Yes, but the background influences the perception of the photo (or then it is necessary to make a black background, but this is not beautiful) :-/
