I am a new contributor. I mostly shoot with canon 5DMIV's and also with Fujifilm GFX 100s

Nearly all my Fujifilm photos have been rejected due to "quality issues" which is very confusing to me since this are SUPER crisp images, and editing kept to a minimum... Can someone help me understand whats going on.

Thanks

Checking the histogram in Lightroom: the asset is underexposed:

From a compositional standpoint, you should read up on the rule of thirds. Placing your main subject dead center makes for a less interesting composition than if, say, more sky was included.

These are very fine cameras ..! Night photos can be very tricky. What ISO/ASA do you use when shooting with the Fuji camera?

Thanks! This particular photo was shot at 50 ISO... it's actually a night shot with a very long exposure, (25sec)

but I have other photos at same ISO and much faster shutters... I don't get it

You say that your original image is crisp sharp? Another thing is that you shouldn't go above aperture 8 - maybe only 5.6 when photographing landscapes, otherwise it won't be sharp.

The image is sharp, but you have light noise in the image and there is part of a logo on a building:

That would be an IP violation.

Thanks! Yes, the noise is visible due to the long exposure... but I have other images shot in daylight with low ISO and fast shutters, and have also been rejected. The branding you caught could be an issue, but the reply is due to quality.

Is there a way to appeal this?

There is no way to appeal. Fix issues if you can and resubmit.

You should adapt your white balance.

BTW: The camera you use is not a quality refernce and the "minimal processing" is neither.

You need to use a decent camera (you are doing) and you need to process the assets correctly to give a neutral look.

When I preview the photo I uploaded here, it looks blurry and the image is SUPER sharp. Does anyone know what's going on?

It looks sharp to me when downloaded. However...maybe it could be even sharper? Look at the pole with the posted sign. It is tack sharp compared to the buildings.
