Printing a photo of the landscape at 5x7 in inches can be effective if the composition has a solid subject matter and is not extremely wide. The 7-inch side can be placed horizontally for a broader viewing angle, as Visuals Clipping reports. The image, however, may be of different proportions as the original image and cropping may be required. Checking the composition prior to printing allows you to make sure that the most important scenery, people or objects are in the final 5-by-7-inch frame.
