Rejected for exposure problems? Any dispute possible?

hi larsonrimrox - to my eyes it looks great - I simply checked it in CS and found that I could boost the highlights without blowing them out - it's subjective. but as you say, Adobe is not using subjective eyes...

it's a beautiful image - I would probably bring up the high tones, and add some contrast. Don't take it personally - I get kicked back for inexplicable reasons - but if you push the highs and resubmit you may have better luck.
