Technical Issue - Please suggest why ?

[Shubhankar0D4C]

Can somebody help me realize why this photograph was rejected? They mention it was a technical issue.

Black White photographs are discouraged. No focusing.

The photo exhibits poor dynamic range - blown out sky with underexposed foreground; additionally it seems to have soft focus. This type of scene can be captured more effectively if you use the Auto-Bracketing feature of your camera and take multiple exposure which can then be blended in LR or PS.

No details, washed out "colours", not sharp, the foreground is underexposed, and the sky is overexposed:

(blue=underexposed clips to black, red=overexposed clips to white)

Thanks a lot!

I'll take a note.
