Hi, a photography tip: place your specimen on a plain white piece of paper that doesn’t have any texture.  This allows the camera to focus only on the specimen.   If there is anything else in the view the camera will try to focus on it, which will make the specimen blurry.

Also, after you take a photo look at it on a large computer screen and ask yourself: if I didn’t have the specimen in front of me, could I see it online as clearly as if it were in my hand?   If “no”, then it’s likely that an expert isn’t going to be able to reliably help you.
