Possible Assessments
A picture showing the back of the lot, including the entire structure(s), is required. This picture should be taken from the level of a sim (not high overhead) and from a straight-on angle (not too diagonal).
Thanks for including a picture of the back of your lot which is good enough for our assessment!
General Guidelines
A screenshot showing the back of the lot, showing the whole, is required. Showing your lot from the back helps downloaders see the architecture of your lot better. It also helps moderators give your lot a fair and informed assessment.
This picture should be taken from the level of a sim (not high overhead) and from a straight-on angle (not too diagonal). It should show the full structure from foundations to roof.
Also make sure that when taking images for the backview, that trees/sculptures/big objects aren't obscuring the view! Simply, quickly delete them, take the image, and the CTRL+Z them back again. (Please see: Unobscured Guideline )
For lots with multiple structures, if you can, show all structures in one picture. However, if this is not possible, focus on the main structure (or largest one).
For parks and other lots which are primarily focused on outdoors and landscaping rather than buildings, try to give a back picture which shows the whole lot, so we can see your landscaping from another angle.

Examples
Correct
A good example, showing the front clearly.
Obscured
The structure is blocked by these trees. If your landscaping covers the back of the house, we recommend temporarily removing it while taking the picture. If you do this, we also recommend including another shot showing the full landscaping, so downloaders will be able to see how the lot will look.
High angle
Taking the picture from too high of an angle can make it difficult to assess the architecture, especially the pitch of the roof.
Diagonal
This one is taken from too far to the side.
Cut off
Make sure to show the entire structure, including the roof.
