The white balance is off, and the animals' hair has an over-sharpened spiky look.

Hi @Sergio23701002y9og ,

Also it is underexposed and has too much of a shallow depth of field.

Best wishes

Yes, it is. The DOF is probably not the refusal cause if your subject is in focus.

It looks like you have done a color toning and other that you better avoid.

[Sergio23701002y9og]

Thank you it makes sense!

Hello,

If you used filters in this shot - don't. Keep the photo in normal colours. Buyers can add their own stylistic filters.

I agree, thank you for replying.  Just trying to become a better photographer 🙂

Filters don't make you a better photographer. Filters will be applied by the buyer if he or she has a need for them.
