BLURRY
Your photo(s) were blurry.

This might be caused by motion blur from trying to track a fast moving object with low shutterspeeds, or by inadequate post-processing of the image.

Look carefully at your original digital image or photo print or slide. If it is sharper than the uploaded file, you might try using a photo editing program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro to sharpen the images, using the Unsharp Mask, Adaptive Unsharp, or Sharpen tools. If your photo has a high resolution you might try reducing it to 1024 pixels wide. This will mask any minor blurriness.

If the original image is not sharper then the version you uploaded, this image can probably not be saved.

If you think you have been able to improve the photos, please re-upload them. Do not forget to include a note to the screeners, detailing what you have done to improve the image. There is a special field available for such notes. Please note that we are still very interested in having these photos in our database, we only ask that you try to improve the quality of the images as much as possible.

The rejection text says it all; while most people are aware of the blur issue and won't upload obviously blurry shots to A.net anymore they may see by Javier's example (orange Extra) given above that even slightly blurry shots may get rejected with the increased acceptance standards.
