another rejected image

[rodrigol1252704]

Hi, I recently got this image rejected, for being "over-processed/noise"

I am new to this and would love to get an input as in what is considered good enough processing.

Thanks!

Hello, I think you have too much contrast, and perhaps a bit over sharpened. You should only do a minimal amount of post-processing.

Greetings rodrigol1252704, This is a wonderful photo and all you need to do is follow ricky336 instructions. Adobe likes the primary photo to have very little post-processing because it allows the customer to do the post-processing work needed by them. Have a happy day. JH

Hi rodrigol

In addition to the above advise, you also need to inspect your images at 100 to 200% magnification and inspect for all sorts of artifacts, including noise/grain so that you can make the relevant correction before uploading.
