A Familiar Face on the Bridge
Every tribute starts with recognition. The coat colors, ear shape and eyes from your photo should still read as the animal you know while the setting becomes a marigold path. Pick a daylight portrait with a visible face and muzzle so those small markings can carry through the walk. A soft front-facing crop usually beats a dark, distant shot when you want the finished clip to feel personal. If the only photo you have is older, prefer the frame where whisker pads and ear tips are still sharp.
