Why has my favourite Pic been rejected due to quality issues?

Hello,

This was taken using a smartphone camera, right?

Due to this, when seen at 100%, quality issues become more noticeable—for example, banding in the sky—the colour graduation is not even.

This happens with smartphone cameras.

What Is Color Banding and How to Fix It

You might also consider doing a search on Adobe stock for "airplane wings from window."

There are several issues with this picture:

• The white balance is too cool.
• There is a reflection from the window that needs to be edited out.
• The image has a low contrast. Probably taking a picture through the window lowered the contrast.

In addition, there is a colour clipping in the blue sky, but that may be because you uploaded a lower quality picture. The same is true for the compression artefacts, that I see.

I would also edit out the ID numbers, just to avoid IP problems.

Perhaps the white balance is too blue.

Due to the reflection on the top center.
