Need help with photos!

Hi everyone!
Today I need some opinions about my photos. I changed the background of FantaZoo pieces adding a pebble covered with grass. But I noticed that now people do not choose them for treasuries! Before now I was using a white background with the words (each animal has a massage), I know that it is better not to use written in the picture but my jewels were often chosen for treasuries!
What kind of background do you recommend using?
Thanks!

The white background with the words. :)

Your items stand out more against a white background.

I love the white backgrounds you have with the words/ drawings they are very eye catching. I also like the grass with the white background. I think the sand makes the small picture look blurry.

Re: Need help with photos!

I much prefer the white background. It makes your items stand out much more, and I can see how the words would make them more appealing for some treasuries.

Re: Need help with photos!

I think the white background probably meshes better with other items in a treasury. It's also possible that people liked including the message in their treasuries besides the items themselves. But honestly, unless you notice a difference in terms of sales, I wouldn't worry too much about treasuries. The two don't always go hand in hand.

Your work is adorable, and I think the simple but appropriate light backgrounds with text help to give you an identifiable brand. It also shows that you put more thought into how you present your items, I think.

Re: Need help with photos!

I don't usually go for white background but I think they work well for your items. I really like how you've drawn some creative art to accompany your items.

For the earrings I might recommend a closer photo, try using the macro setting on your camer so they really fill up the frame. Love your items!

You're right Raven! But unfortunately my sales are however so slow!XD
I think more treasuries=more posibility of having a front page=possibility of more sales.

I know that items with writes not go in Etsy finds, but however, might not have chosen!
Thank you at all!
