In particular, when Flickr users upload a photo they can choose to apply rotation on Flickr.

This rotation is only applied to the derivative images created by Flickr – the original is left as-is. This means you can end up in a situation where the original/derivatives have different aspect ratios. e.g. the original photo is portrait, but the derivatives are landscape

It'd be useful to expose whether a photo is rotated in this API.
