Hi everyone,
I'm new in the comunity and I like to know why this photo was rejected. One of the main reasons for me is the lack of light; correct the exposure may be sufficient? There're otheres problems? Plz send me some feedback. Thx.

Hello,

The foreground is rather dark. The histogram shows there is a lack of mid-tones:

You have the shadow and highlight areas with peaks, but not the mid-tone area!

The cows could be brightened up a bit more and I would bring a bit more light in the foreground!

I suppose you could also bring more detail in the sky and clouds!

I would also remove the pole and wires on the right side.

    100% agree with Ricky and Ralph.  Some adjustments to the exposure will make a big improvement.  Below is a hasty, and perhaps a little heavy handed, example.  Best regards, John

      @Ricky336 is right. The midtones are missing. Lighten the shadows and reduce the highlights and that will even things out. I would also crop out the small portion of road and the wires.

          It's very nice photo, I don't think there is lack of light, Look at the histogram, it's quite even, however the picture seems to be very noisy. Zoom in on those green areas right below the mountains and on the mountain slopes as well.
