 Help me choose a photo
Unfortunately, I didn't get a single photo I really liked this year. My fault... I rode like crap and the photos are an unwanted reminder of that 
However, my parents bought me an awesome frame that holds three photos and offered to buy three photos from my 2012 season. Love them  So, I'm picking the 'best of the worst'. I already picked a stadium and a x-country picture, but I still need a dressage photo. I don't really like any of them, so I need help picking one. Which ever photo I buy can be cropped, so keep that in mind
Best of the three, but the back ground is rather cluttered

This picture is clearer, but he's really on his forehand

I look really bad, but he looks cute

Here's the stadium and x-country picture I chose (the stadium picture is horrible of me, but he looks so adorable!)

I like the first one (from your first post). As you mentioned the photo could be cropped to remove the yellow mounting block(?) I don't think the people behind you are too distracting..

I like the first dressage photo and don't think the background is really all that cluttered.
My favorite photo is the one with you smiling
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...6&l=a651cbb6db
And my 2nd fav you posted is the water jump
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...3&l=2a5b4bdcf5
I would either do the smile pic and water pic with your XC pic you already chose, or do the 3 phases with your first posted dress. pic.

Meh. I almost never buy dressage photos! Of all the pictures around my house, two are dressage....one from the three day in which Vernon actually looks pretty cute and almost looks like he's actually doing his medium trot. The other is a blooper reel shot from the same test (and, yes, I framed it!).
I LOVE the cute candid one of the FB photos....or the one in the water.

If you really want to find a Dressage photo choose one that can have the heck cropped out of it until it is just your horse's head and neck with no distracting objects in the background.

Hands down, pick the first Facebook photo and skip dressage. In fact, I would pick the first FB, the last FB, and the one of the jumping pics.
(But like BFNE, I usually go for the different shots and I loooove candids)

What clivers said, and the candid. skip the dressage this time since there isn't one you totally love
OTTBs rule, but spots are good too!

Agree with the others. I'm a firm believer in only buying pics that you just absolutely love, so I'd pass on the dressage ones since you clearly aren't sold any one of them. The water pics from facebook are really great, those get my vote.

Unless you are having the pictures matted and framed at a framing shop, it's not a forever decision, right? It doesn't seem right not to have a dressage picture, so maybe just put something else in until the right one comes along.
