I need help

[Giovanni Ph]

hi guys, i don't understand why the review team didn't accept this photo from me, i also tried to remove the
 grain and noise, but nevertheless they didn't accept the photo. Can any of you tell me what the problem
 is? Thanks

Hello @Giovanni Ph , there are several things wrong. 

First of all it is not focused properly. The photo is too soft. It is poorly cropped. The plate is cut off at the bottom but space is available above it. Objects that are not important but part of them are showing, need to be removed. (bottom left, top left and top right corners.)

It's very blurry and not a very good composition, with bits of objects intruding into the edges of the frame.

[Giovanni Ph]

do you think you can fix it in some way?

Bad focus is not fixable.

Please don't take this the wrong way.  It's a nice "foodie foto" for posting on Instagram.  But as a Stock photo, it's missing the quality mark.  Examine your photo at 100-300% magnification.  That's when you see the technical problems.

The composition might have been better without the reflective foil-wrapped butter.  And I would prefer a more immersive camera angle.  That said, food photography is technically challenging work.  Look at Stock photos in your keyword category.  I think it helps to see what the competition is doing.

Keep working at it and better luck next time.
