Personally, I see not much wrong with the picture of the bull himself. I think to me, it shows the bull better than the pictures you took at home. There is not much wrong with the pictures you took, I just think the Browarny picture shows his muscling and thickness better. If the Browarny picture was cleaned up, I think it would be fine.
Another thing to remember is that you can go onto the Browarny website and view all the pictures at the show. I am sure there were many more taken on the dirty carpet. This carpet is not Browarny's problem, it is the National Western's concern. It is the NWSS that sets up the picture venues that Browarny uses. Knowing Alan Browarny quite well, I am sure that he was not real happy if he saw this messy carpet. Even if he did complain about it, if the NWSS did not replace it, he would have to take the pictures on it. I was Beef Chariman at Canadian Western Agribition for several years and if something was wrong, I always heard about it from Browarny's. I am sure it would be the same at Denver.
I don't think there is much wrong with the angle of the picture. The backdrop can be corrected and the carpet should be able to be cleaned up some with a little Photoshopping.
Over the years, I have had hundreds of pictures taken by Browarny at shows. I always get all the cattle pictured, and I only purchase the ones I like. You do not have to purchase them just because they have been pictured at the show. Go to their website, look through the pictures they took of your cattle and select what you like. If you don't like any of them.... don't buy them. There have been some years where I only like 2 or 3 pictures out of 10 or 12 taken. If I don't think they are a good representation of the animal, I don't buy them. A poor picture is often worse than no picture at all.
