Been having trouble getting this accepted, been rejected once for license plate, so i went downloaded the pictire from my subnission and edited it (photo, not a screenshot, the was a lot of photos to go throigh and i could t be botheres to find it) to crop out the license plate, now its apparently a screenshot???
It’s hard to comment properly without your actual photograph, but there could have been something that happened to the quality when you edited it. If, for example, it cannot be zoomed in because it doesn’t have enough pixels, reviewers might have noticed this when looking at it in detail. Maybe it was saved at a lower resolution?
Cropping a photo to remove irrelevant things at the edges is perfectly OK.
