Welcome to the forums.
If we want to describe a picture, we talk about what is in the picture. If, for example, the picture was old and stained, we could talk about a stain on the picture.

I believe that mixing the word "please" and an imperative sentence doesn't make a polite request. But adding would you would do the trick.
