finding the perfect photo
A good photo
The best photos are ~ Close up ~ Pet facing the camera or slightly turned ~ Good natural light - In focus. You want the whole face, ears & neck clearly visible.

Not so good
Laying down, can't see neck ~The person hides a lot of the dog's face ~ Angle from above, distortion ~ The swimmer is cute, once the water is removed it will look odd.

The face is too dark, we can't see the eyes ~ Toy hides the neck and part of the face ~ Multiple pets require two separate photo as we want to see the entire face, ears & neck.
