Hello,

The photo is a bit washed out. I think you could add more contrast and vibrance to the picture.  You could reduce the highlights a bit, bring more detail in the sky and water - bring out the blue and greens.

Dear micha_h,

This community fellow has listened to you.

Please find attached some non-technical notes I have made.

Apologies in advance for handwriting on your work, I found it quicker and was with the sole purpose of providing some help beyond the "plain" rejection legend we all might have get once or more in our work. Photos are assumed to be yours. No plagiarism intentions of any kind at all are pretended from my part. I hope this contribution helps to cover one part of that "big void" of multiple possible rejection reasons.

I am not an Adobe employee nor anybody to convince you about anything, I am just a knucklehead volunteering dude trying to help people blowing off some steam when their work is rejected.

In other words, just trying to provide an "out of the box" perspective. My contribution is with good intentions only and hopefully will produce at least one smile.

For more formal and professional comments listen to the guys that clearly know what they are talking about.

Keep shooting, learning, observing, and specially, having fun!

Cheers,

Vences

PS. Whenever you have a chance, have a look at these past posts I have collected that might help in the future

Perhaps too bright and sharpness needed

Hi Micha,

I like your composition. There is a white balance issue. The image is too blue. It seem to have been a sunny day. That need to be seen in the image. The shadows could also be lightened a bit. You have also added a little too much sharpening, not much. Adjust those and you are good.

Best wishes
