A raw pic from a phone 'declined'

Well it's about the pic numbered 1752226700. An autumn maple, taken with a phone. What was 'bad'?! Don't understand. The picture is not unsharp, neither 'overprocessed' (not processed at all actually). WTF?..

The problem with smartphone cameras, whether they're taken with an iPhone or Android, is the fact that they have small sensors!

When they get enlarged, the pixels and flaws become more noticeable.

In fact, a small sensor camera is not so different from a small film size. They did not enlarge so well.

The results from smartphone cameras are suitable for small screens or prints, but viewed on large screens or prints, not so much.

 

The rejection, therefore, would be based on the quality.

Do you check the image by enlarging it to 100% on your computer screen?
Even if it looks fine on the small screen of your smartphone, the image quality may be substandard when you enlarge it.

If you post the same image you posted in this thread, we'll check it from a user's perspective.
