Image Rejection

I think the problem with the photo is that it is blurred and of poor quality.
I totally disagree about the black areas. If you add details in the shadows, the photo will lose its laconic and minimalistic character. In addition, noise will certainly be added and it will look terrible. Black areas have the right to be as well as white - the designer can put there inscriptions, or such a picture will fit well on a black background.

Always consider how your image is likely to be used commercially. 

Will the details show up when printed on paper, t-shirts, tote bags, coffee mugs, etc...?

Hi @Stueffell ,

Your photo is underexposed. There is no details in the shadows. You should avoid shooting in the sun. This is actually an instruction that you should have gotten with your camera.

Best wishes

There is also a sensor fleck toward the upper right side.

Here's your image when I view it's histogram. Blown out highlights and absolutely no detail in the blacks. If someone purchased this for print, no paper or yellow ink would be bright enough, and no ink would be black enough, to provide a decent print.
