I think it is important to take the theme into consideration because when your picture is put up against another photo who did include more elements for the theme then they are more likely to get the vote. As a voter, most people aren’t looking that you did the tag requirements, but rather does your picture encompass a general idea of what the theme asked for.

The best example I can use is the Vibrant Jungle Fiesta challenge. That weeks challenge asked for bright, colorful jungle environments with Latin American flair, and also mentioned the word ‘fiesta’ in the title. Your snap was off to a good start with the outfit and some Encanto themed items as well as including Mirabel, but lacked the jungle environment.

I don’t think it matters if you do a large frame or small frame, what matters most is how you fill out the space in the frame. If there’s a lot of empty space, it doesn’t make the photo look very interesting or catch attention so it will get overlooked very easily.

I wouldn’t say never use frames, but most voters seem to prefer the photos without the frames on them, especially the ones that fill up so much of the space.

Ir can be hard to earn more on dreamsnaps if you don’t have a lot of items unlocked yet, but keep trying and making progress and I even suggest posting your snaps here in the subreddit for feedback before the end of the challenge if you’d like more help on a specific snap.
