This is a usability issue regarding response image display.

When the user clicks on a thumbnail to view the full version, the image is always displayed in landscape. This is a UX annoyance if the image was taken in portrait orientation, because the image would be rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise.

There are 2 possible solutions:

1. Create an image display wrapper with rotation controls to allow users to manually rotate the image.

2. Do nothing. Wait for browsers to support image rotation property in the JPG's EXIF data (see: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=56845).
