Good Day all, This is my first time uploading and have had good success but had my first rejection for quality issues on a photograph.  I am guessing this is because it is slightly blurry and not very colorful.. I have attached the before/after to this post after using lightroom to brighten and color balance my photo.  I am open to any ideas/suggestions on if the edited photo will pass or is the original just too blurry for accepting.  Thank you in advance.

Correct answer Abambo

Slightly blurry is always bad.

 

I think you missed focus by a bit. The reflection of the rock looks the sharpest.

You may also have a slight white balance issue.

 

The blur is not to recover.

With some work in Photoshop, you can make this photo saleable.

It needs to be sharpened and the backgrounds needs to be cleaned up.

Agree, do you think that it's too blurry for submitting?
