I played around with the rejection a little bit and came up with this still by no means an acceptable image.
First cropped it to 3:2 ratio
Bumped up the levels a bit
Lightened the shadows a tad and bumped up midrange contrast.
Did a little bit of edge sharpening.
The biggest issue i see is your original image was 250KB in size. This one is close to 400KB even with the crop in place you need to save the image with the minimum of compression. I had to compress it a little bit to get under the 500K limit.
Looking at your Exif information you could have reduced the shutter speed a lot to get a better exsposure as this one was shot at 1/500 Sec and f/4.0 this has caused the tail of the A/C to become soft. added to that the fact that you had to shoot thru glass did not help matters either.
Hope this help you understand a little more about the processing.
