[QUOTE="lazyhill, post: 24810, member: 256"] I would like to see better pictures of the calves and one picture with all of them in it. The picture with all of them in it should be a clue as to the relative size and scoring of the animals side by side. I do a lot of marketing with photos and have some bad ones and good ones. When I evaluate cows by photos I like to see a shot from the front, rear and side. It gives you a better idea of the overall cow. Also, I agree with the comments on camera position. At a minimum, you want to get down so that you are shooting the photo right at the middle of the cow's body and not looking down at it. For the most part, you can't get too low. Another thing to consider is taking pictures when the winter fur is gone. When cows put on a lot of winter fur like these 3 have, it often makes them look worse than they are. Here are a couple of sites that talk about photographing cattle. It may be helpful.
