Looking at these, as a user of a lot of uploading applications, I
would say get rid of the description field. Title, and categories or
tags is enough to find one's images. Otherwise it's too much data and
inputting, especially for a mobile app. If you were developing a
library app or something, I would understand adding description,
because you'd need room for talking about where the image came from,
history of the image, etc. But for a mobile app, a title and a
category (Title: Noodle Shop, Catagory: Japan 2013) is enough.
