Photo rejected: Technical issues

[alano30565897]

Hello Adobe community!

I've had several photos rejected, and I'd like to know how I can improve things. Here's one which was recently rejected on 'technical issues' - can anyone provide some constructive critique please?

The rejected image. The original is 11MB, this one was reduced to 6MB (jpeg quality 80 vs 100) to allow it to post on this forum

Hello,

I think the main problem is the white blown out splotch on the violin. You should take this into account when taking such a picture. You won't be able to recover this in post as there is no detail here. The reflection is too strong.
