How to get custom fields from get_post using single page?

I have a news page where it display all the news and there is a read more button with a permalink function. When it is clicked it will redirect the user into single page news for more information although I can't query the custom fields.

post type: news meta: news

Thank you in advance!

anyway here is my code

$post_id = get_the_ID();
$queried_post = get_post($post_id);
$test = get_custom_field('picture-description', TRUE);
$title = $queried_post->post_title;
echo $title;
echo '<br/>';
echo $test;
echo $queried_post->post_content;

Here are some things you can try:

Make sure your stuff is in a post loop

http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

<?php 
if ( have_posts() ) {
    while ( have_posts() ) {           
       $test = get_custom_field('picture-description', TRUE);
       the_title();
       echo '<br/>';
       the_content();
    } // end while
} // end if
?>

Try an alternative function

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta

get_post_meta($post_id, 'picture-description', TRUE);

Ensure you are in the right file.

For a post single the naming convention of the file should be something like single.php or single-posttype.php

enter image description here

Let me know if any of these things work.
