I just tested it with pics on my phone taken in landscape and portrait 
orientations,
and both showed up the way they should.  I do know that Android's camera app 
will
attempt to figure out what orientation the camera was in when the picture was 
taken
and adjust accordingly.  In the linked pictures, it seems that Android got 
confused
at those points.

However, I do agree that it might be best if we included a dropdown option for
rotation just in case.
