Beginner - File(s) rejected for technical reasons

[MoleculeQuest]

Hello everybody,

it would be real helpful if you could review the following illustration and help me finding out what ist wrong with the picture to prevent repeating my mistakes again and maybe allowing me to tweak render settings. It was rejected due to technical issues. Thank you very much in advance!

If it's supposed to be a molecule, that's not what molecules look like.

Also, your cartoon edge shader is a little sketchy in some areas.

Hi, it is likely rejected because of where the shadows cast. The shadows are a bit distracting. The image should be so lighted to eliminate the shadows.

Hi, If I look at this as I would a photograph, I would add - the exposure is off and the highlight areas are a flat gray. Experiment with different exposures and use the curve to have a bit of fun with this. Best regards, JH
