When zoomed in to 100% view in Lightroom:. The details are soft and there is noticeable noise in the sky. The lift towards the left has noticeable color fringing, and there is a slight halo along the top of the mountain towards the left as well.

Although mobile phone photos are accepted, mobile phones present additional challenges such as a small sensor and a fixed aperture that make it more challenging to get technically proficient shots.

Model releases would be needed for the people, and a property release would probably be needed for the sign. I think the person or entity that created the sign would recognize that it was theirs.

Hope that helps 🙂

Hi @picsforthebirds ,I'm assuming the sign is the subject. It has a halo around the edge. There is a blue cast visible and it's noisy. The background has no details as though this photo was taken with a camera with small sensors. I'm not sure if you can correct the white balance, halo and noise without doing any further damage if it'll be accepted. Best wishesJacquelin
