Hello I would say if a photographer takes a photo with some orientation he has in his mind the final photo having the same orientation. So the behavior when the landscape oriented crop is suggested for portrait images is rather odd. Just my statistics: I think I will crop from taken portrait image to final landscape picture in 5% of cases. So in other 95% cases I have to click rotation button if I want to crop a portrait photo.
