I am a newbie. I communicate through a translator, so the essence may not be exactly conveyed. I found part of the answers to the question "Why was it rejected" myself. But I would also like your tips. Thank you

Your horizon line is extremely slanted and needs to be straightened.

Hi @integral_soul ,

The photo is not in sharp focus. It is underexposed and with grain noise.

You need to zoom in on the picture to see the issues.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

You should always add the refusal reason. In this case I suppose it was quality issues. Obviously you have oversaturated your picture and even without diving deeply into the picture I see sensor spots that need to be addressed. Sensor spots are mostly found in the sky and other light areas of a picture:

They are easy to address, so that should be your first priority. 

 

I did not check more, but I think that you also have more noise than tolerated, and it may be that the sharpness is not optimal. For checking that, I would need to download the picture and check it in Photoshop at 100%.

Not so easy for me. But the question is where do they come from? Is it related to the camera or the sky?

Sensor spots come from dust on the sensor of the camera. They may also come from the lens, but on the lens they are mostly invisible. You will need to clean your sensor. They enter the camera during lens changes, and can rarely be completly avoided.

 

To clean up your pictures, every photo editing program has today simple tools to do the cleanup. It's just a matter of systematic work. In Lightroom you can use the repair tool for that.
