Why pet photos work well
Good pet photos have a strong silhouette. Ears, face shape, and posture create outlines that look great on paper. The biggest risk is background clutter and motion blur. A clean photo creates a clean page.

Best pet photos to choose
Eyes visible
Eye detail is what makes the page feel alive. Choose photos where the eyes are not hidden by shadow or blur.
Simple background
Grass texture, carpets, and busy rooms create extra lines. A plain wall or outdoor sky background works better.
Sharp focus
If the face is soft, the outline will look shaky. Use the sharpest photo you have.
Good lighting
Soft even light prevents thick black blobs. Harsh shadows often reduce usable coloring space.
