Which is best pic?

[Doc]

Trying to decide which pic to use in sale catalog on a cow I'm selling. Which one do y'all think? Or should I start over, just don't know that I can get any better ones.

My unprofessional opinion...

She looks longer in pic #3, but she also looks bigger in the brisket than in the others.   She looks more broody, with a slightly straighter top line & the rear leg is set better in #1 & #2.  Also, she appears to be standing at the best camera angle in pic #2 & I like her head/front better in #2 than in #1.  I think that I would go with pic #2, although that wasn't my intial thought because she is zoomed out a little further, so I'd maybe crop it a little bit to zoom in more on the cow.  You could try to take some more, but like you, I'm not sure if they will be all that much better if any better.

I like 1 and 2.  In 1 she is looking straight ahead but brisket looks a little fuller.  Both are worthy images.  Nice cow.  I wouldn't consider 3.

 

[ROMAX]

I would go with picture 3

Nice cow- tell us about her..................!!!

 

[OH Breeder]

I like #1 and #3.

#3 looks like she has a ton of volume and deep side nice top line. With all that volume you are bound to get a little flesh in the brisket.
Nice cow. Mind sharing her breeding?

Nice cow- tell us about her..................!!!

Her name is CF GP Fool 439. She is a 6 y.o. Trump dtr out CF Gold Plated Fool 061. She was ai'd to SS Kaboom & then exposed to my bull for an early spring calf. She is selling in Nov. at the NAILE at a new sale called the "Bluegrass Invitational". I'm also selling a TH/PHA free dtr of Dble Vision out of the original CF Roan Sue , in this sale also. She's due to calve to my bull , about any day now.

I like 1 even though in 3 she looks longer 1 appeals to me more as a broody breeder. You will probably end up more confused.

PHOTO #1 
Is the best pose.  Eye and ear forward or its not worth the film, or in today's language, not worth a pixel.  Twenty years experience in doing this for others.
If your really that green, or she is the nervous type, you did quite well. 
One very good auctioneer claims  "Not all good cows have big ears;  but all big eared cows are good!"

I like the top one. It's a bit brighter and she is standing well. I tried auto correcting it and it made it a bit lighter. If you or the person doing the catalogue can adjust it so that it is brighter I think it's a great photo. I don't see how you can get her to stand much better than that.
A very good cow.

Top picture trips my trigger the  most, loooks like a heck of a cow... picuter 3 she looks longer spined but much more moderate framed

i like 1 or 3.  2 is blurry, i don't like her eye looking back like that and her head doesn't look good.

i like where her head is in 1, but the position of the photographer in 3

I like # 1!

 

[rocknmranch]

#1 - The brightness and the angle of the shot are more appealing.

#3 - Gives the impression of a long, straight topline.

Both pics give the viewer the advantage of seeing the great qualities of the cow.

I like # 1!
