Putting this here because I keep typing the same reply.

A confirmation photo needs two things in the same story: cow morphology and visible water involvement. Distance is fine if the animal, waterline, and posture are still readable. A blurry brown rectangle plus the words 'trust me' is not a case file.

If you have a wide shot and a crop, upload both. The crop helps people see the animal. The wide shot keeps everyone honest.

wide shot first. zoom after.

Adding: if your phone took a live photo, check the frames. Sometimes the still is useless and the half-second before it shows the waterline cleanly.

if the route changed, write it down

Also original file first, edited crop second. If your only upload is a screenshot of your camera roll with circles drawn on it, I am closing the laptop.
