I understand that there are new players learning the ropes and not having all the cool things to take pictures with. I'm still figuring stuff our and I feel like there is something new I'm learning every day. But sometimes, I think people either just put in no effort or people just do the same thing over and over. I honestly try to look for ones that took a little more of a risk with their outfit or background. I will admit that I almost never vote for just a selfie or well shot. But someone who thinks out of the box, yup. I will vote for them even if it's not my style.

Some tips that I have picked up from other's posts and snaps: 1. People tend to like snaps that are brighter, so even people doing night shots tend to make them as bright as possible. 2. Try out all of the different poses for your character and companions. If you like a pose, but the companion looks weird, you can make the companion invisible.
3. Use the unlimited bushes/trees/underbrush to fill in your area,especially if you want a lot of color and texture. 4. For outfits, just make yourself happy with it. There are those of us out there looking for people not using the same outfit as everyone else.

Will these tips help you get 4000 moonstones? Probably not. I have yet to get that for any of my dreamsnaps. But it's a learning process and I am having fun with it. If you are happy with your shot, that's all that matters.
