Crisp picture, no filters, $5000 glass, is your computer broken?!

No my computer isn't broken, and, frankly, I don't care how much you paid for your photographic equipment, since it doesn't guarantee technically perfect images.  As others have noted, focus is soft, chromatic aberration wasn't fixed, and you have a large, dark, underexposed area in the frame.

Maybe they don't care for the red line around the standing bird.

It might be just reality but it needs to be better than reality if so.

Why should my computer break when you take pictures that are far too small for being put in stock? There is a big chance, that you have chromatic aberration.  I also think that the image is not crisp sharp, but that is impossible to see on a 2k image.

Hello Iggy,

Well, my computer ain't broken! 😊

The photo itself is just a bit too dark, the background is a solid black! The bird on the left is rather a black blob!

In my personal view, one could say exposure problems. I would increase the exposure a bit and increase the shadows and reduce the saturation somewhat. The yellow is just a bit too intense!

The photo is underexposed.  What you most likely consider an artistic look and shot purposefully, Adobe most likely considers a quality issue for being underexposed.

I like the shot and would enjoy seeing a print of it, but I'm not sure it makes a useful commercial asset.

Good luck with future submissions 🙂
