Hey, so my images have been getting rejected due to 'quality issues.' Clearly Adobe's standards are higher than others, but they never specify the issue (overexposed, clipping, noise & gain, too sharp, not shrp etc.), so I thought I'd post one of these images and get some specific feedback. If you can pin point what's wrong, that'd be great. Thank you.

Hello,

I think you could add more contrast to the picture - decrease the haze with the 'Dehaze' slider in Photoshop Camera Raw/Lightroom, correct the colour balance a tad, open up the shadows a tad, and I think you will be good to go. It's a bit flat currently.

To give you an idea:

However, in the sky after these small changes, you will see two dust spots in the sky, which you will have to remove as well.
