Rejected due to Technical Issues

Hi Shamerox,

In addition to the halo around the structure there is also color noise on the gate (green or cyan, purple, yellow).

Best wishes

I think the HDR effect is too strong - it looks like too much of an HDR. For stock, it should be less noticeable.

Secondly, I think the photo is a bit oversaturated and a bit too much contrast. So I would suggest reducing the saturation and vibrance. (As well as sharpening.)

You could also correct the perspective.

As a quick example:

Stones do not have structure, the sky shows banding and there is a halo around hard edges.

I would say too much noise reduction, to much sharpening, and your HDR processing needs to be refined.

Hello shamerox, Very nice photo, and interesting lighting. However, I think you have prospective problems amd some of your light and shadows are not realistic or true to your light sources.  I think this work might be something you have created from several parts. The gatepost on the right is much smaller than the left, the depth of texture is not well defined and has blur problems. The path and the pottery along the sides also could use a bit of adjustment and shading/lighting help. Do the adjustments and resubmit. Best regards, JH
