Hello Adobe Community. I don't have much experience here yet, and I would appreciate your advice on my photo which was rejected. Can you advise what is wrong with the quality of this particular picture, so that I can be mindful of it next time? Much appreciated. Sany

Unfortunately the depth of field is just too shallow, causing part of the object to be out of focus. The issue is more apparent if you zoom in a bit.

Hello,

Focus is a problem:

The crab isn’t sharp.

Unfortunately, due to restrictions with this new forum, I cannot properly analyze your photo. However, it looks to me as though the crab needs some sharpening and the exposure may be a little too light.
