The reason being that since both our eyes are side by side, it conflicts them when an image is too long for it's width. He says that when you look at all the famous classic painters, their format of choice was 14x11. In this case, it would remove some space above and in the bottom, making the subject more prominent in the shot.The other thing that could help would be to remove bright distracting elements (a few lighter leaves) that keep the eyes moving away from the subject even unconsciously.</blockquote>
