I took this photo with my DJI mini 2 and thought it came out nice so I decided to post it. I was extremely surprised when I saw that it had been rejected for "Technical Issues". As a person who is just starting to use this platform, I cannot see what the issue is. So, can you guys let me know what the specific reason of rejection was and how to fix before resubmitting?

Hello,

It's taken with a Drone camera right? So this will result in compression artifacts - which is a technical issue!

These kinds of shots look fine on a small screen, but when enlarged to 100% or more - a big screen rather than a smartphone screen - defects begin to show as in this case artifacts. Smartphones and drone cameras have small sensors, so quality isn't so good when they are increased in size.

So, the main issue here I think is overall quality.

Have a read of this. It's a brief guide on image quality:

It's somewhat underexposed, displays some vignetting and is quite noisy in the sky, particularly along the horizon.

Thank you for your feedback. I have a similar photo to this one that is a bit brighter. Although I am worried to post this one as it is very similar to the original just brighter. However, since my original one got rejected for technical issues would it be fine to post this one?

As the original has been rejected, you may try submitting this one. However, this one would also get a refusal, because of the high noise level:

This image is slightly overexposed, as you see on the histogram, with the blacks missing.

You original image is better suited, looking at the histogram, which is quite good and need just a small push in the shadows area to the right and a small push the blacks to the left.

Small adjustment and the histogram looks nearly perfect:

Be careful with noise reduction, you will need to reduce noise and to preserve detail and contrast.

The first thing that strikes me is the noise in the sky. You should fix that. Also, there appears to be some dirt from the lens in the upper center of the sky.
