Hi!
I submitted an image around two months ago, and I recently noticed that it has been marked as "Not accepted". The reason cited for this rejection is "SIMILAR IMAGE(S) ALREADY SUBMITTED". I would greatly appreciate any advice or clarification on how to address this, as it was my first image of its size (4096 * 1024) and the only food banner image I have uploaded that features multiple cuisines. Thank you for your assistance.
I would tip quality issues and an error in the refusal reason.
I would agree with @Abambo. On the left-hand side primarily, where the pot in the lower left corner looks like it was Photoshoped in, as it seems like it's on top of the larger pot behind it. And the handle seems incorrectly generated. Also, once of those little dishes in the same area isn't a perfect oval at the rim.

Thanks @daniellei4510 and @Abambo for your feedback. However, I'm deeply concerned because of the inaccurate reasons for rejections especially for "Similar Image(s) Already Submitted". This issue is critical as such rejections could be misinterpreted as spam, risking account closure.
Guidance would be hepful for the steps to update the correct rejected reason for this image in my portfolio..

I wouldn't fret about it. The "Similar Images" rejection has perplexed most of us here, as it suggest that the individual contributor has submitted too many of the same images. In fact, it references too many in the database overall, by multiple contributors. It may have been selected incorrectly by the moderator, as it sometimes seems they are under time restraints to review as many images as possible in the time available to them. But wee just don't know for sure. But you can pretty much be assured that it is highly unlikely it will be regarded as spam due to the rejection reason given. If you were to submit the same image over and over, without making any corrections, then yes, that would be viewed as spamming.

You should only be concerned when getting dozens of similar refusals, where your assets are similar. Your plate is not something that is seen that often. You should play by the rules, but not be too fearful of one or the other failure.
There is no guidance to update the rejection reason. It is indeed not possible to update a rejection.
