Question

The problem with the photo - image quality.

Hello and welcome. Please help me constructively criticize my photo. The work was rejected by Adobe Stock due to quality issues. The photo was taken at night. I already have some experience, but I can't deal with it. Thank you for any help.

Your post is too small, to see all possible defects, but @RALPH_L is right: the artwork needs a property release. Your picture is overexposed, I would bring down the exposure a bit.

 

And then you need to edit out that lens reflection. It's disturbing:

It also seems that the camera moved during the take.

The steel construction in the background also looks like a double exposure.

Thank you for such a detailed description. I'll try to re-upload after fixing the bugs. Third time lucky.

You can try, but you probably still need the property release for the soldiers.

The reflection in the sky is not good. Some highlights are overexposed. The artwork on the side may require an IP release.

It's not sharply focused, and I'm not sure this type of long exposure with ghostly figures is something Adobe would consider to have commercial appeal.
