First image: Stack
Dal, 3/4, or profile (dane) poses are all equally acceptable. Do realize that oftentimes I find 3/4 poses unattractive and that can take away from the entry.
Curly Coated Retriever
Dalmatian or 3/4 look better for the Cierra Curly file unless you can get a good profile.

Flat Coated Retriever

Second image: Breed Specific Task
The Breed Specific Task (BST), previously known as the Other, is the jump. Curly and Flat Coated Retrievers participate in agility, and when hunting they may come across a log they have to jump over.
Entrants may be jumping either left or right [treat trained or jumping through the gold or silver hoop], and they may either be looking at the camera or in the direction they are jumping. Preferred are those jumping with their heads forward (as in profile poses), but they are allowed to have their head turned toward the camera.
Examples:
Curly Coated Retriever
(pictured: Simone, Cai, Simone, and Cole -- all belong to Elf; Cai bred by Kenna)
Flat Coated Retriever
(pictured: Sonata and Poet -- both belonging to Elf; Poet's breeder is Deniz)
