What would be a possible reason for rejection of this image? Sky or ?

Hi @marko_not_polo ,

It is underexposed.

Best wishes

In simplest terms, there’s not enough light.

A Levels Adjustment Layer can help.

Did you take this with a drone camera?

If so, due to the fact that drone cameras have small sensors, when enlarged to a large screen/printed, compression artefacts can be seen. However, here it is hard to tell as it is already compressed to WebP format in this post.

This is a 500% magnification, but I suspect a full-sized version would still begin to show noise and a lack of sharpness at normal size.

This is not the original image in the post.

This looks a little better, but it’s still to small to really determine what might be wrong. And the new forum limit of 5MB doesn’t help much, either.

The image is too small for a serious investigation, but I suppose that it shows artefacts that are typical for small sensor cameras.
