Hi, the clouds are overexposed causing a total loss of detail in some of them.  That could be the problem.  You might be able to fix it by reducing the highlights level in your editing application.

The white of the clouds is burnt, it seems unrecoverable. There is also an imbalance between the pink of the bougainvillea, the ground, the shrubs. Lack of contrast and over exposure. Look at the histogram of your image.

Hello,

The histogram is a great tool!

If you use Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, or any other photo editing app, bring up the histogram. It shows you the tone display - black to white. For example:

Your above shot shows the pixels piled up on the right. This indicates overexposure - it's too bright! The clouds have no details, they are just a white blob!

You should aim more for an even distribution of the pixels. At the centre of the histogram are your mid-tones. Here the pixels are rather fl

Hi @Cintia Oliver Rich ,

The photo is overexposed. The details of the subject is lost, and it appears you over-sharpened the image.

I suggest you read up on this link to get some guidelines from Adobe.

Also, you need to take a look at the seven tips you need to know to get your files accepted.

And these additional information will help you to find issues and correct them before uploading.

Best wishes

It was really too exposed! I saw it in the histogram. I corrected it, resubmitted and it was approved. Thank you very much to all 🙂 🙂

The image is, in general, overexposed, and the white clouds, as others have noted, are blownout and unrecoverable, so I wouldn't spend any more time on this image. On my cameras, (Canon 5D Mark III and Mark IV), there is an option to show "blinkies", i.e. overexposed areas on the camera's LCD display. It takes just a quick glance to confirm that I need to adjust shutter speed and perhaps exposure compensation and shoot again. This type of scene would have benefited from shooting bracketed images and blending them in LRC or PS.

The clouds are overexposed, the photo is not focused well and the blue saturation needs to be increased.

You should aim more for an even distribution of the pixels. At the centre of the histogram are your mid-tones. Here the pixels are rather flat.

You need to look at your histogram. This shows how your pixels are displayed from dark to light.

Yes, to judge the exposure, the histogram is your best friend.
