You finally hit upon it in your 3rd paragraph.
If you want others to be interested in your work, you have two choices:
Instagram is driven by the former. And that (unfortunately) makes images disposable, IMNSHO.
- shock/surprise them
- create an emotional connection.
As for the latter, the responses you've gotten tell you that this is true, and your viewers are not finding that engagement. So you are left with:
It's your choice. The image of the stairway is somewhat interesting; I don't care for the two faces nearest the camera, but I see what you are trying to do. I also like the tones of the image. It does not seem a careless mistake, although I don't know that it's as successful as you'd like.
- being satisfied with the images as memories for you and yours, or
- working harder to create that connection. That's what drives many photographers.
But I think, with some intention to the craft, you could make some lovely images.
And I'm glad you shared.
