Before you upload

The photo makes the portrait.

Three things that make the biggest difference.

  1. Face first

    A photo where you can see their eyes and nose works far better than a back view.

  2. Good light

    Daylight by a window beats a dark room or a camera flash.

  3. One at a time

    One pet per photo gives the portrait a clear star of the show.

Same face, different mood
