Hiya, hoping somone can help.

I uploaded these three variations from a panoramic image, I broke it into 3 as the original's width exceeded the permitted dimensions.
Two so far have been rejected and the other is still in review. In my own opinion the quality exceeds other images that I've had accepted so was hoping someone could give some thoughts on what I may be missing here?
One thing that concerns me is that the previews in the review page for these three images are pixilated whereas all the others are fine, so wondering if the reviewers are even seeing the images properly.

Thanks in advance.

Soft focus and oversaturated. I should be able to read that road sign in the right, but it's too blurry.

Hi Jill

I'm assuming you didn't download the file to check? The sign is unreadable on the preview but if you download it it's very clear!
However, some others who viewed it at 100% seem to think it needs more sharpening anyway.

Sorry, I was traveling and didn't have the wifi bandwidth to download the file. Now that I look at it downloaded on a large screen, I can clearly see what's on the sign. I do agree with @RALPH_L about the overexposed areas in the sky. That should be easy to fix.
