Camera Resolution- 

 

The larger the image size the better.  So, let loose with those megapixels.  However, an image shot with an 6 megapixel camera or better will work just fine.   Be sure to crop as tight as possible.

 

Focus and Exposure-

 

Make sure your image is in sharp focus.  In addition, a slightly dark image is preferable to a slightly bright image.

 

Lighting-

 

We can use an image taken anywhere.  However, an image taken outside in shade (preferably with some flash) or inside with flash is the safest best.

 

Background-

 

We extract the subject  from any background.  However, a solid color or non cluttered background is preferred.

 

Format-

 

Images should be sent at full resolution in jpeg format.
