Hello,

I think a problem is with your exposure - it’s too dark, and the sky - white balance issues, not to mention your overall composition. That could be improved a lot!

Too dark and 90% sky.

The aspect ratio is all wrong for this type of photo. It should be landscape or panorama.

This is what you’re competing with:

As a customer, I probably wouldn’t buy this. It lacks visual interest.

Underexposed. The object in the lower right must be removed. Too little foreground. You must use the Rule of Thirds.

Blurry and not well exposed or composed.

Underexposed, there’s a bright light or something on the right of the frame. The curved thing in the right hand bottom corner is distracting. Maybe TOO much sky?
