Question

Panoramic photo rejected due to quality issue

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.

Phillip

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.

Exposure is your problem. The overall photos are underexposed and the highlights in the sky are overexposed. Both can be corrected in Lightroom.

Moderators will have access to the original files, and they will check them at 100%. My critique to these would be missing sharpness.

I downloaded the full sized pictures and checked them at 100% in Photoshop. Sharpnes is missing.

Just to add some more detail, the originals are 26158 x 3812 (99.7mp) and about 32mb in size.
