The Nemean Lion, whose golden hide no weapon could pierce, until Hercules strangled it with his bare hands as the first of his twelve labours. Easy to find and regal in form, the Lion crouches with the bright star Regulus — "the little king" — at his heart. (For those born about July 23 – August 22.)

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.
