Currently on photo upload there is a option to select limit of image but if this limit is breached then image is rejected or as it says (If a larger image is uploaded, it will be rejected.)

I am wondering why not go with a standard solution of resizing if image is bigger like filefields have (If a larger image is uploaded, it will be resized to reflect the given width and height. )
?

would like that the second is used with this module, usually works better for users.
