The attached photo was rejected for "Technical Issues".  I would like an independant opinion and review to understand what the issue was and as a learning tool. I would appreciate an honest opinion, no worries about feelings.

Thanks for your time

Hello,

I think the focus is a bit soft. The main subject isn't that sharp. You've used a long focal length and a wide aperture - f6.3, so your depth of field is rather shallow. Also, I think the image is a tad green, so adding more magenta - tint would take out the green a bit. Not sure about the overall composition as well.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, it does help. After hearing your thoughts it makes it clearer for me.
