Some good examples:

Indications:
- Original format and good resolution (1.5 or 2 Mb at least)
- Picture taken outside the water
- Recognizable face (no mask or hood)
- Avoid images that have been sent or forwarded to you through mobile phone apps (they are always low quality because they get compressed)
