A large number of photos are being rejected due to quality issues I do not believe these photos are bad their resolution exceeds 24 megapixels and each file is around 8 megabytes in size this has exhausted me

Correct answer Jill_C

Quality is much more than just file size and resolution. There is visible chroma noise in this image.

Resolution is not a quality attribute. 

 

There is an issue with exposure or contrast (check the histogram), noise and focus.

Hello,

Two things I would suggest.

Increase the contrast.

2nd: Unfortunately, as others have mentioned—the focus is soft; it could be sharper.

Your photo needs sharpening and should be cropped to emphasize the subject.

So have you sharpened Medo's image. If so, did you use AI to do it?

No, probably only Lightroom. Assets can be sharpened up to a certain point, without looking artificially. @RALPH_L's style is to add much contrast, and saturation to the assets. Local contrasts (tecture and clarity) may also improve the visual sharpness of a picture.

Hi @Medo_Salem5979 ,

The image is not in sharp focus, under exposed and has a shallow depth of field.

 

Best wishes

Be sure to zoom in to 100% and check the image quality before submitting.
It's too zoomed in and blurry.
