Hard to know what the problem is. This photo was rejected (model release was obtained), technical?

Maybe a check box by the evaluator would help, Is the problem technical, subject matter, etc.? I like last rejection it was clear as included recognizable buildings copyright issue, but this has me scratching my head.

Hello,

Well, I think the photo is a bit too saturated, perhaps just a bit too blue, and the thing that stands out the most is it is rather underexposed. See the histogram:

 

The shadows need lifting a bit.

Just another point in the composition. The guy should be looking more into the distance, down the river, rather than across it. It leads the eye out of the frame.

The photo is not clear enlarge to 150% for example. The white of the clouds is burnt in places. Left part under ex and right part on ex. Framing is the subject's attitude to be improved. As it stands, sorry, the interest of this image for a buyer is questionable.

Adobe always give a reason, such as quality, missing release, etc. Please check and tell us the exact reason that they gave.

    Only time an explanation is given is when release is needed. Quality never has been mentioned as a reason for reject, you have to guess.

    "Only time an explanation is given is when release is needed. Quality never has been mentioned as a reason for reject, you have to guess." I do not think this is the case. My experience is that EVERYONE gets a reason for EVERY picture that is rejected. The usual complaint is that the rejection (such as "quality issues") is too general, not that it is missing. I wonder if you are looking in the wrong place.
