Hello everyone, I recently uploaded a bunch of images and now the first 3 passed the "checking phase" but all of them were rejected. In my opinion, this is the image where I dont understand the rejection the most. Is it to high contrast? Is it something else?

Could anybody please help?

Hello,

Is it to(o) high contrast? Is it something else?

Yep, it's something else. High contrast as well. The image is underexposed. I get that you were going for a silhouette, (?) but here you have too much black foreground. What you have ended up with is rather a black mess, the outline of the people merges into the foreground.

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.

In this case of the photo, the black areas are too black, they clip. It's fine to have black areas, but not black so they clip, and not in such a large area, as in the photo above. The same goes for white areas - except for spectral highlights, such as reflection of water, on the sea, etc.

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.
