Why was my photo rejected for quality issues? I have a photo i would like to upload

Hello,

In my view your image is too contrasty. There are not enough mid-tones.So in terms of quality–too much contrast; not enough mid tones.

To me it seems like your problem I continue to see in this forum… The Interpolation of your image... you have over sharpened and or over enlarged-stretched the photo using steps that damage-pixelate your file. This is a mistake Everyone has made, even when we thought we understood what we were doing. 

Can you share what you did? 

I strongly suggest to use your preferred AI app (mine is Grok.com), and ask:  

Can you tell me how is the best method to enlarge a photo in Photoshop with the least amount of damage to file.

You will get step by step methods. If you use Adobe Photoshop, do it in Camera Raw.

Otherwise use Topaz Photo AI sharpening tool... only after editing your photo and no other enlarging prior to using it.

Ralph is right, your horizon line is tilted, and a mistake you should have caught… Don’t sweat it has happened to the best of us.

Keep having fun!

I like his image better. It shows ski slopes. Or glacier formation, your photo looks drab. 

The shadows are under exposed. The photo is not cropped properly and the horizon is tilted. It is also a little over saturated.
 

Hey ​@Irene+Roux 
there are 14 million photos like yours. The team has to choose one option in this case, quality issue.

Before uploading a popular destination photo, I would upload an unedited image and see how many photos have been uploaded.

Cheers

Overexposure may be one reason.
