I would say: technical issues (that was probably the reason Adobe gave you and that reason you should share with us).

You have so many defects in this picture, the moderator did not need a lot of time to detect the first one:

• noise in the background
• bad photoshopping (aliasing effect) (arrow)
• smeared texture (cloud)

• Sensor or lens dust
• etc.

Apart from the obvious technical issues, I see a potential IP problem: it looks like an arts & crafts project (CD + Styrofoam ball assembled with hot glue).  Did you make this ornament?  Did you submit an IP release with it?

Commercial value: I wonder who will buy this?  What will they use it for?
