What is claimed is: 1. A method performed in a device, comprising: obtaining, by the device, an image having a first orientation with respect to a display of the device; detecting, in the image, a plurality of human faces arranged in a number of different orientations; analyzing the number of different orientations to determine orientation information associated with the image; determining whether the orientation information identifies a particular orientation of the image with respect to the display; detecting, upon a determination that the orientation information does not identify the particular orientation, at least one feature in the image other than the plurality of human faces; analyzing an orientation of the at least one feature, with respect to the display, to determine additional orientation information; reconciling the orientation information associated with the image and the additional orientation information associated with the image to determine a second orientation; determining whether the first orientation differs from the second orientation; and performing, when the first orientation differs from the second orientation, an action to re-orient the image to the second orientation. 2. The method of claim 1, where said obtaining comprises receiving the image at the device. 3. The method of claim 1, where said obtaining comprises capturing the image via the device. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising: storing the captured image in a memory of the device. 5. The method of claim 1, where the performing the action comprises: creating or modifying an identifier associated with the image indicative of the first or second orientation. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising: storing the identifier with the image. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising: sending the image with the stored identifier to another device. 8. The method of claim 6, further comprising: rendering the image via a display of the device based on the identifier. 9. The method of claim 1, where the performing the action comprises reorienting the image from the first orientation to the second orientation. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising: displaying the re-oriented image via the display of the device. 11. The method of claim 9, where the re-orientating comprises: changing the second orientation from landscape orientation to portrait orientation or vice-versa. 12. The system of claim 9, where the re-orienting comprises rotating the image by an angle of about 90, 180, or 270 degrees. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving an input from the user to initiate the detecting the plurality of human faces. 14. The method of claim 1, where the image comprises an image file stored in a memory of the device. 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, from the user, a command to display the image, where the detecting the plurality of human faces is initiated upon the receiving the command. 16. A device comprising: means for obtaining media including an image in an image frame; means for determining a first display orientation of the image frame; means for detecting facial features associated with a plurality of human faces that appear in the image; means for analyzing orientations of the human faces to determine orientation information associated with the image; means for determining that the orientation information does not identify a particular display orientation for the image frame; means for determining, upon determining that the orientation information does not identify a particular display orientation, additional orientation information, associated with at least one feature other than the plurality of human faces, indicative of a second display orientation; means for determining whether the first display orientation differs from the second display orientation; and means for re-orienting, when the first display orientation differs from the second display orientation, the image frame from the first display orientation to the second display orientation. 17. A device comprising: a display; and processing logic to: obtain an image file including orientation information indicating a first orientation in which an image is to be displayed; detect, in the image, a plurality of human faces arranged in a number of different orientations; analyze the number of different orientations to identify a particular orientation in which the image is to be displayed; determine that the particular orientation in which the image is to be displayed cannot be identified from the analysis of the number of different orientations; detect, upon the determination that the particular orientation cannot be identified, at least one feature in the image other than the plurality of human faces; analyze an orientation of the at least one feature; reconcile the number of different orientations to the orientation of the at least one feature to determine a second orientation; determine whether the first orientation differs from the second orientation; and re-orient the image upon determining that the first orientation differs from the second orientation. 18. The device of claim 17, where the processing logic is further to: cause the modified orientation to be stored with the image file. 19. The device of claim 18, where the processing logic is further to: determine from the stored modified orientation that the image has been re-oriented; and cause the re-oriented image to be displayed without repeating the detection of the at least one human face.
