Hi, I'm new here and recently I faced with an issue that my image is missing generative AI flag (the sunset one), which I'm confused because I didn't create it using AI (just using my smartphone camera). Can anyone enlighten me?

Also, why is this image (the sunny one) getting rejected? I hope someone want to share. Thank you.

Start saving now for a 24+ megapixel camera & accessories. A smartphone has a very small sensor and is only good in ideal lighting conditions (full daylight). You won't have a good experience fighting with limited equipment.

Enroll in some photography courses and join a camera club to learn how to use & care for your camera. There's a lot more to photography than just aim & click.

Hope that helps.

I think the Moderator chose the wrong rejection reason for the first image. It's quite noisy and should have received a quality rejection; the second image is lacking sharp detail, looks like it was taken with a small sensor camera, possibly a mobile phone.

I can't speak for the sunset one, perhaps it would be worth resubmitting it under aother file name. As for the other, the horizon is at an angle, I would also edit out the partial boat, the person and the telegraph wires as they are all just distractions.
