Hi @Bill Keefrey ,

I think the white balance of the first image is a little off. It's a bit blue and there's also a blue fringing on the edge.

Overall, the second image is underexposed. I'd increase the exposure and reduce the highlights and probably the whites. Also there are color fringing.

The third image has color fringing and is slightly too blue.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

I made some quick adjustments, lightening the buildings in the back and on the left side, and darkening the building on the right, while still maintaining the relativity.

crane_0460-.jpg - I think you missed the focal point on this one; seems like it should have been his head or and, but instead seems to be on his pants

stone steps up walkway old town.jpg - the light was challenging in this scene, causing the right wall to be overexposed, perhaps even blownout in some spots

Tree trimmer--2.jpg - the light might also have been the issue here; I think the head and shoulders should be lightened.

Yes, you can re-edit and resubmit rejected images; however if it gets rejected again, just move on...
