Rejected for Technical Error - Why?

[salifoto]

I would like feedback on the image below. I was rejected for "Technical Error". Can someone tell me what technical errors or issues they might be referring to? Thanks in advance.

It looks out of focus on my monitor.

And a flashlight in the eye.

These things are truly stated by the others. The only focused part of the cute little dog is the center of its face. Maybe resubmit new shot of this little guy. JH

Hello,

Your issue is with white balance - it is too red. (Technical reasons). You can fix the white balance in Lightroom/Photoshop ACR if you took this image in raw. If you took this in JPEG, you can change the colour balance (Photoshop) by taking some red out or by using the ACR filter white balance in Photoshop.

Just as a quick example:

I think the focus is fine.

At Least try a few things and see how it goes when you resubmit it. JH

Hi,

generally nothing is shown really sharp in this picture, the optical exemption of the dog in front of the background is not good enough and the exposure of the picture shows too little contrast. Saturation should also be increased. White balance is certainly not the reason for rejection, I think.

Since the image sharpness cannot be improved here, I consider a new upload to be useless, since here the image would surely be rejected again for this reason.
