[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 1565633, member: 8265"] Perhaps make this thread a sticky note at top? Have noticed for a long time that poor photos get less useful opinions on cattle on these boards. "Could be a bad photo, but......" Here is an example, and as Nesikep mentioned, they should have taken better photos. Amazing how people selling cattle can't take more time to do so. https://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=118485 If you expect people to spend hours giving opinions, might be good to spend more than 2 seconds on a photo. The standard setting on cell phone cameras is for wide angle. So photos taken that way will be distorted. Whatever part is nearest will be bigger - heads or rear or whatever. Sometimes they appear to be standing uphill. If using a cell phone, need to back up and zoom in to avoid distortion. Also need to crouch down at shoulder height, I believe. You need the sun behind you. If shooting into the sun, you will just get a silhouette, especially with black cattle. Have them stand in a normal pose, not feet way under them. I've seen bull photos where they just stood up and were stretching and they were condemned as post legged. That's all I know - I'll let the experts correct or add more. [/QUOTE]
