I uploaded my first batch of photos and they were denied for quality issues. I thought each was not over edited, focused, a quality image. I did use the denoise tool in Lightroom also. Any insight is appreciated. I would love for the denial to have more specific information…but I guess that would be too easy lol. Is it possible it is metadata included in my Lightroom export? Thank you in advance.I have attached one of the photos. Exported smaller to fit the upload size for this post.

    Hello,

    Cutting off the ear of the cow on the edge of the frame isn’t a good idea. You ought to give the cow a bit more space.

    The image is poorly cropped. You have room on the right but, the left ear is cut off. Also, the shadows on the ears is under exposed. Also, some sharpening is needed. 

    Better?
