Don't try to crop it too tight. With the use of computers today, you can do almost anything with a photo. You have to determine what is ethical vs. unethical when you enhance a photo. If you advertise in the Angus Journal or the Angus Beef Bulletin, there are several rules regarding enhancement. We will not change the contour of the animal or any part of its body in any way.
First impressions are important.
It's better to go without a photo than to use a bad photo in your advertising or sale book. Close to perfect.

Don't be afraid to try a different angle such as this.
