Well Lit
This is a great photo choice because:

- Demonstrates the typical "personality" of the subject
Full body, Nice pose
This is a great photo choice because:
- Great full body visibility with no features left in question
- Nice pose
- Well Lit - you can see all the details in the body and face
- Demonstrates the typical "personality" of the subject
Close Up
This is a great photo choice because:

- Well Lit - you can see all the details in the body and face
- Includes most of the head (no special detail missing which may be "filled in" by artist)
- Demonstrates the typical "personality" of the subject
Unique Pose
This is a great photo choice because:

Nope! Try not to send these!
Poorly Lit
This is not a great photo choice because:
- Lighting comes from behind the subject, makes the face look dark
- Hard to see the details of the subject
What would make it better:
- Light comes from behind the person taking the photo, so we can see the face better.
Too Far Away, Tiny Subject
This is not a great photo choice because:
- The subject is small in the photo, making it hard to see most important details and features
- Lighting comes from behind/side of the subject, makes the face look dark
What would make it better:
- Light comes from behind the person taking the photo, so we can see the face better.
- Taking the photo closer to the subject (with in 3-6ft is ideal)
Poorly Lit, Missing Details
This is not a great photo choice because:
- Lighting comes from behind/side of the subject, makes the face look dark
- Hard to see the details of the subject
What would make it better:
- Light comes from behind the person taking the photo, so we can see the face better.
- A pose where the entire body is visible, including the back leggs, and tail.
- Make sure whatever details you want in the artwork are in the photo submittted.
