Photo Requirements
Unfortunately I don't always have the opportunity to meet your pet in person so true to life photos are super important.
When taking a photo of your pet please ensure the light is as natural as possible eg. daylight. The photo needs to be sharp clearly showing the details of the fur. Also avoid dark shadows if possible as they can hide the features. The more detail, the more likeness to your pet. Multiple photos helps with navigation of features.
These photos (below) demonstrate not only how the fur colour changes on this cat depending on the light source but also the variation in sharpness. It's also great to have some close ups for key features if possible.
