FAQ #511: How do I post thumbnails of my art on the Chat Network or Forums?

My uncle decided to call this "Druggie's Dismay"
But all it is is an empty pill bottle and glow stick juices
I'll post here even if it's no longer November.
Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this photo?
How can I improve and make it look more ominous?
The lightning is suppose to strike the SpaceNeedle, since it's somewhat close to the water, should I add some light reflection in the water?

Looks kind of muddy. Actually nevermind, give it some more light and bump up the contrast.
And maybe, it could have used some more depth, but just maybe.

This picture was taken in Albay Park and Wildlife, Legazpi City, Albay.
I just used a camera phone in this photo because my parents aren't going to buy me a camera of my own until my birthday, so I understand if it's a little bit blur.
Please comment down for imrovements.
Thnaks.
You're fine here, I suggest by gimp or luminar and start learning how to process. Learn camera exposure settings and effects. Good luck

Hi! I'm new to deviantart. I have been a hobby/semi-pro photographer for a while. This is some older work, a testshot from some lighting expiriments. I hope to be able to upload some newer work soon. I'd still appreciate feedback to learn and grow.
Honestly that's a well done portrait.

Effective soft lighting and well balanced composition.
I notice the right figure's face is in full clarity and focus, however the hands of both are blurry. It's only a small distraction but is noticeable when viewing the work large. Perhaps to prevent this, the aperture could have been raised a bit higher (f5-6) and then either a brighter light or a quicker shutter speed to then help lessen the movement of the hands and capture still figures.

thank you for the feedback I try to leave the shutter speed as low as I can to reduce grain but will tick it up a notch to see if it helps without compromising quality! thank you!
Very true, no grain in this photo!
Adjusting ISO can help remove grain. General rule ISO100-200 very sunny. 400 for cloudy. 800+ for nighttime (depending on varying light, like moon, sunsets, streetlights). Takes some experimenting.

That's what I have found I think I shot at 100 iso am starting to learn the quirks to adjusting ISO to make pictures stand out it does take experimenting I appreciate the advice!
A pleasure to help!

Gorgeous! I love architectural photography, and I really like the warmth in your photo, and the clarity. Where is this, out of pure curiosity?
