I like the quality of your photos, but I do not vote for them because they look to depressing and boring to me. I vote for stories. They can be made with phone and bad quality, but they are telling some story and that makes them attractive. The process of making something is interesting.
Take some ingredients, that are interesting by themselves, they look and shape, packages and the process of making food until the final product. That tells the story.
High quality images of the same object from different angles is boring and not interesting.
Just in case you are interested in my vote. 😉
