Why was the image rejected?

[Layla_F]

Please tell me why the image created from my photo with drawing elements in Photoshop was rejected. I painted the clouds and the sky, used color correction.

What reason for rejection was given by the Adobe Stock Moderator?

[Layla_F]

For technical problems.

[Marianne-Deiters]

Maybe because of that: the tree and grass don't look very sharp. The grass is also very dark.

Thanks a lot for your answear!

Hi Layla,

I agree with @Marianne-Deiters concerning the picture: it's out of focus, and it's underexposed. But I detected also photoshopping errors.

Image moderators are excellent at finding such defects.

Many thanks for the detailed and helpful answer!

Nice idea. There is also color noise in the background and if you look at the tree with 400% you can see a white halo around the branches.

Thank you very much for your comment!

There will be a reason to return to this work again to correct it.
