Hi, I am wondering why this image of a swan has been rejected on quality issues. I have submitted others recently which have been accepted and to me they are of the same quality. I had all 5 photo's I submitted yesterday rejected and yet the other day I submitted 6 which were all accepted. Anyway, any advice on this swan would be welcome as I want to learn. Many thanks.

And, increase the shadows, to make the swan's neck brighter.
