Psychology or Perception or What?

I asked a photographer friend which one of two flag pictures he preferred and to my surprise, he chose one and flipped it horizontally (and I liked what he did). So, if you don't mind a question, which is your favorite picture and horizontal orientation, and please state why? Is it possible our preference of left-to-right or right-to-left is a function of being left or right handed, perhaps because we read from left-to-right or possibly, right-to-left, or what? Your preference and comments will be appreciated, thanks.

Old Glory #2, just seems right.
Now what if a horse back rider in motion was holding the flag,
would a photo be better from one side than the other?

I like Old Glory #2 (flipped horizontally) the best. I prefer the flag to go from left to right (maybe because that's how we read?). Also, I prefer #2 over #1 because the view is more straight on than the angle in #1. Or maybe I prefer this one because it is listed first of the options?
