Poor Photo Rejection

My issue is that I can’t obtain a better photo. The footpath market in question is obscured by overgrown plants. I’ve tried multiple times but it keeps getting rejected.
advice would be appreciated

If there's a separate badge with a trail name on it, yes submit that not the post, and get a clear close up.

I gate this photo quality argument btw, we aren't professional photographers, we are people with a phone camera, I've seen so many things rejected because it's not an amazing picture. So long as you can tell what it is or the description explains what it is if it's not immediately obvious, that should be good enough, people complain that here too much sky or too much road, keep in li d the photo desk for it wouldnt even show the sky or ground

Don't submit it
Just going on that its a generic footpath sign so 1* candidate without even considering the photo
Yeah, it should have a trail name of some kind on it to qualify.
That's just a generic public footpath sign, which don't meet criteria. If it was marker for a named trail, it would fare better.
So perhaps just focusing on the badge on the side of the post that shows the route marker itself? Rather than the entire sign?

IMO the standard for a low quality photo rejection should be along the lines of "cannot tell what the object is or what the focus of the photo is", not "has a few shadows" or "was taken in cloudy weather." Unfortunately, I've seen rejections for the latter.
@grsmhiker-ING I had a trail marker get rejected for poor quality photo, the only thing I could see was there was gog in the background, not even close tot he trail markers and ere was a frozen spiderweb on it. In all honesty it actually made the picture look even better than the one in eventually got accepted
