The Bull — the form Zeus took to carry the princess Europa across the sea. His face is marked by the Hyades and his fiery eye by red Aldebaran, and on his shoulder ride the Pleiades, the Seven Sisters, the loveliest star cluster in the whole sky. (For those born about April 20 – May 20.)

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.
