We get adjusted to viewing koi in "head shots". Our eyes then focus on the face and pattern. When viewed "sideways", we look more at the body overall and can see what we normally overlook. The Ueno Showa has a high shoulder hump, which would not seem so prominent if the photo was rotated. It would stand out in person. She was approximately 90cm when the photo was taken.
