It's just that everything was looking so nice and the colors were not over saturated and the depth of field was perfect.... I finally had the knowledge. I knew that what was holding me back from amazing photos was my CRAPPY PHONE! I got sad. Thank you though. I needed a little pick me up.

I don’t adjust/edit any pics. My diy clip on brown filter does all the work for me.

This is my typical photo quality. I take a photo with my phone and then I have to crop it down pretty small. Then, like this one I just tried to upload... fails because the image is to large. So then I take that already reduced cropped photo and snap a screenshot of it. Then I can upload it here. Full of noise and grain.

Do you float your camera or just shoot through the glass?
My phone sits in this and I use a Bluetooth camera trigger to reduce/eliminate shaking from pushing the button on the phone

Very interesting. Before I was able to get the right custom WB set up on my Nikon, I used a brown filter. It was ok but it seemed to mute fluorescence a lot. Even with the Nikon WB set up correctly, I still lose a bit of the saturation in color. With my iPhone and the lights on all blue, I use a stacked yellow and orange filter and that seems to make the best reproduction of the color pop in what the eye sees. I’ve never heard of anyone using brown on a phone. I’ll have to try that...

Im not sure how my custom clip will work or look under all blues. My whites and reds are set to 30 in all my pics
