Hello,

Did you take this with a smartphone?

Be careful with shots like these. The sun will always come out as a big white burnt-out blob, as it is here. Shots like these will always be rejected! Always, it makes the foreground dark. It fools the camera meter's exposure.

For stock, don't bother with these kinds of shots!

In addition to what @Jill_C said, there is a white halo between the mountain and the sky.

    Shooting directly into the sun is rarely going to result in a useful image. In the sky you have a huge blownout area surrounded by artifacts. The rest of the image is underexposed and over saturated, and the horse is not in focus.
