The Water-Bearer, pouring an endless stream from his urn — often named as Ganymede, the beautiful youth carried up to Olympus by Zeus to serve as cup-bearer to the gods. He pours his water across a region of sky the ancients called the Sea, thick with watery constellations. (For those born about January 20 – February 18.)

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.
