Why my image rejected. You gave reason of this please can you explain more, so I may repeat same mistake everytime. thanks

the reason was: "Common issues that can impact the technical quality of images include exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise."

 

and the second reason for rejection was: 

During our review, we found that it contains elements that appear to be protected by intellectual property (IP) laws, so we can't accept it into our collection. Elements protected by IP may appear in the image or in the description, title, and/or keywords.

 

Thanks and waiting for your response.

When you give the refusal reasons, it is enough to give the heading. The text is a stock text and always the same. The text just enumerates the most common errors, not necessarily the error (or errors) in your picture.
