Why it matters
photo presentation affects how a single photo is interpreted. Omoggle-style scoring is strongly influenced by presentation, so small changes can move the tier without changing the person.
What to try first
Take one clean front-facing photo, then retake it with one adjustment: softer lighting, a cleaner background, a better angle, or sharper focus. Compare the results and keep the change that improves the score.
Common mistake
Most bad scores come from avoidable photo issues: overhead light, wide-angle distortion, messy backgrounds, low resolution, or tense expressions. Fix those before assuming the tier is fixed.
