I am trying to post pictures of wreaths that I'm trying to sell. They just aren't as close up and bright and inviting enough to sell.

Hi CD, First I think you have to bad up and get the whole thing in the frame and give them some room all the way around. And find a different back ground. I think the white is giving you problems. Try the light blue wall next to the first picture. also maybe being so close your focus isn't sharp. But I think the back ground is your biggest thing.

Try using a tripod as well. Did you use a flash, if you have to then try diffusing it. Take the pic's crop (1 & 3) them back as a square see what they are like then.

I tried to help 1 of them....like Erv said....white background isn't helping very much. What kind of camera and lens are you using?

Back up a bit. Leave a little room around your subject rather than cutting off bits. Make sure your focus is right on and use enough depth of field so the whole thing is sharp. A little levels adjustment will improve the contrast of the first two.
