The winged horse, sprung from the blood of the slain Medusa, who carried heroes into battle and struck the fountain of the Muses from the rock with a blow of his hoof. In the sky he flies upside down, marked by the Great Square of Pegasus, four stars forming a vast celestial signpost. Poetry, flight, and inspiration, galloping across the autumn heavens.

Before a size goes on sale, the file is measured against it: pixels per inch at that size, how much of the picture a crop would lose, tone and sharpness. A size that fails is not offered, so there is nothing to choose wrong.
