Why was my picture refused please?

Maybe it's due to the saturation but I'm not sure...Thanks for your reply 🙂

In the order of importance:

• the image is not sharp
• the white balance is off, you need to make the image warmer
• the saturation is hell too high
• the horizon is not level, you need to look at the references you have: the bird and the basket
• you have strong lens vignetting.

Each one of these leads to a refusal.

Yes. Too nuch saturation and the bird is not focused good. Also work on the composition.

For example:

Hi @secret5CCB ,

In addition to what is being said, there is a slight purple color fringing on the edges. Zoom to 100% or more to inspect your file.
