My comment on @brandongarrett,
Welcome to steemit. a perfect place for professional hobbyist and good photographer like you :) I'm new here but I think I understand some things in a short time. people are looking at whether the content of your post is relevant to you.
The fact that the content of the post is relevant to you allows people to show more interest in the post. because they want to comment under the people who have a great time in the post or who are returning from death (depend post content). you should also always share interesting content in your posts, like the youtubers but you have to use a little brain :)
I think you have a perfect personality for this place, it is so simple that things will succeed to you, check out interesting things and add yourself in photos or do some intersting hobbies and share with us and do not even give up in difficult times :)
Confirmed!
Sorry for the late reply. :| Wish you the best of luck!
