The color of the light fixture was bad, and the angle was not the best. No color or pops of anything in the picture

The photo is a little blurry and I can not enlarge it. No ventilation system over the stove top. The tan hanging light looks too low. No cabinet doors on shelves to the left. Everyhting is white! It's hard to tell, but is the flooring different on the left side from the right?

I see why you did the photo this way as you are trying to give the viewer all the features like the upgraded light fixtures and the large walk-in pantry. But I would have done it in 2 photos instead since most of our MLS's give you plenty; we get 35. It seems like the photo is askew just slightly so I would have straightened it just a little. Plus the pantry looks in focus and the kitchen and dining area are a little blurry. I would have done it just the opposite. It is not a bad photo but I think it could be better especially with 2 photos instead.

The angle makes the kitchen look awful. The second photos look much better. The most important part in selling a home are great photos!

The hanging lamp does not fit the decor and the wide angle lens distorts the picture.

Got some good answers here. A few good tips as well. Next picture to critique I will be a little clearer on what to look for. What can tell you Scott, is I sold this home in 17 days when two other Agents couldn't sell it in 7 months. As well as for more than what the Seller expected. His comments were that the photos, virtual tour and video sold his home. The previous photos? Less than attractive.
I read a study last year that high quality pictures can get as much as 3.5% more for a home than one shot with a cell phone. There is a techniques to shooting photos with lower exposure like the initial unedited photo, them pulling out the best when increasing exposure in editing. The saturation can then be controlled to pull out color to bring life to the photo, without over saturating and making the subject look unnatural.

My first feeling was the hanging light Douglas Trudeau - however, now I have seen both pictures, I get the idea.
If someone does not take the right picture, it's impossible to convey the value in the property, be it kitchen like this or any other picture.

I was told when taking kitchen photos to squat and take at counter height. Try it because it make a huge difference. I believe the lens is blown out or could be damaged. So part of it is the skill level and part the camera.

Nothing if the photos of the galley length are featured before viewers see this one. Otherwise this photo is deceptive.

Wow, now that I see the other pictures, my answer would be different...the photo is VERY misleading.
Also, the question is a bit misleading.

Some people do not like the galley kitchens. But I have sold many of them

Agents who do this only hurt themselves when a buyer finds something different thant their MLS or ad pictures show.

Here are two more pictures of the kitchen so you see what the Buyer saw.

I think a few missed the point. It's not about the hinges, lights, missing microwave, etc. Look at the distortion and lighting of the three rooms in original picture. This was a 1958 home with a narrow kitchen. The nostalgic look is what the Seller wanted, and what sold the home. Too many Realtors use a wide angle lens like this with a distorted look and inconsistent lighting from room to room. Now look at the edited version with lens correction to remove the distortion and well as some lighting correction, dodging, burning, etc. Can you tell there was a speed light in the pantry as well as the dining area to help balance light? Plus the two above the camera to light each direction. You get a feel for the pantry in relation to the kitchen and an idea of the dining area.

Why is there a light hanging so low next to a stove where someone would stand? It sort of looks like the kitchen was rearranged and there used to be a table there.
Looks like microwave/vent are missing.
Now aesthetically? lights are awful, cabinet hinges are dated and should be interior or hidden somehow, knobs outdated, not sure why bottom cabinets are not installed where pole is...and if it's supposed to be a place for people to sit, it's positioned badly, espec w/ shelves above, most would want shelved covered...and maybe do w/ glass. I prob. would have laid tile in opposite direction to make the space look larger. I'm guessing this is warm enviroment (due to tile on the floor)...here it would be Hardwood in kitchen + dining room), and looks like lower end property due to laminate counter top rather than granite. Missing backsplash, back of gas stove is dated...it should be flush.
also, photo is blurry.
How's that?
