Sorry, it looks like your attachment didn’t come through! You’ll probably want to double-check that your file-size isn’t above the 2 MB limit.
Hi @heldinhisarms!
Hmmmm… I really like the depth of field that the distant trees give you, and I like the lighting you chose. Were you trying to get the “ghost” lens flare? If not, you could use a lens hood to eliminate it, or just place your hand in between the sun and your lens. When I photograph words on something, I usually get them headed upwards if I’m going to tilt it. So, I might have tilted it the other way. I would also give it some HDR effect in Lightroom by sliding the whites to the + and blacks to the -. I’ll attach a photo or two to demonstrate. Now, I did a little more the sample photo than just that, but that was my starting point.

In my opinion, tilted far too much to easily read the words.
My eye is attracted more to the bright background than it is to the canvas. It’s good that the background is blurry, but more blur would be better. If you’re zoomed in all the way, step in closer and use as wide an aperture as possible.
Dido the @thefarmhand’s comments.
Cameras Nikon D3200. lens 18-55mm kit lens.Shutter 1/25.sec F3.5 ISO 100. just a test shot.and just to let you know this pic is not edited at all. the painting look is from using slow shutter speed and moving the cameras down as the shutter was open.any tips on how to make it look better

In my opinion, I think this effect actually works for this composition. Most shots blurred in this way just look like a mistake, and not artistic at all.
I think it works because the lines are not too “shaky” looking, the exposure and contrast are proper, and the balance of elements create a flow for the eye to travel.
I would suggest going further with these shutter speed effects for a more creative edge. Effects can be created by zooming in or out or spinning the camera or combinations of both. Here’s a post on how to do the zoom effect, and here’s an example of the zoom+spin effect.
For best results with any shutter speed effect, use a tripod.
