Lessons Learned: Who is your greatest critic?

You didn’t mention what lens you’re using? I bought my D7200 used and it came with a junk lens. I couldn’t understand why the images were so bad until I bought a good 18-140 kit lens. Bingo! That made all the difference!

There's a huge difference between you and your wife. She just wants pictures. You want PHOTOGRAPHY!!! Get off auto as soon as possible, and be patient while learning. You only learn with experimentation, and lots of failures along the way. But that's not failure -- that's progress. Most importantly, enjoy learning and celebrate all of your new experiences.

Take the suggestion to post an example as well as taking a moment to identify your editing software. There are many people willing to give ideas on how to shoot for efficient editing as well to give ideas on software that is more efficient than others for quick turnaround on edits.
Thanks!

Find a camera club or even a forum that does reasonable critiques. Without knowledgeable people giving you guidance, it is hard to improve. At least 25% of you time should be .in education
Thank you for your suggestions.

It does seem to me that your wife's simple query carries a point...It appears to me that the Straight out of the camera pictures from the mobile phones beat the ones from the more expensive cameras which demand further Processing for making the pictures presentable!...and it is time that the enthusiast cameras incorporate the same degree of computational methods employed by a mobile camera to refine the SOOC photos....and that the top camera manufacturers better wake up meet this sort of a challenge to justify the Price of their cameras.
