I am of course new to photography as my newbie question proves.  I do realize my camera maybe my first problem to professionals but I hope that is not the end before I even start.  I have sent in 1 to 2 pics at a time for about 20 in total.  I have been hoping to learn from the rejections, but after 20 I am blindly guessing and the continued rejections prove this. I understand with all the pictures that come in, I can only get vague template suggests on how to fix a  problem. However the rejections come back to vague for me (newbie) to be of help.  So I decided to try understanding the problem with ONLY one picture instead of twenty pictures,  which may have 20 different problems. I have included one picture here for judgement and suggestions. Can someone please tell me in baby steps,  lol, what are the problems you see  and what is it that you would have done to correct the picture?

Did you shoot this in full color?  It's hard to tell.

 

I think it's a tad too underexposed, probably due to all that snow which can confuse a camera's light sensor.   If you open the image in Photoshop and examine the Histrogram Panel, you can see that highlights are missing.

The histogram reveals missing blacks (to the left) and missing whites (to the right) creating an image lacking contrast.

Hello,

I agree with @Nancy OShea , it is somewhat underexposed!

Take a look at the Adobe help guides. it's a good beginner's introduction to Adobe Stock!
