Question

Adobe rejecting images for quality when there’s no evidence

I get rather frustrated when some of my stock photography is rejected for quality when others, taken in the studio at the same time, are accepted. I think that what is happening is that I am shooting close-ups, with a shallow depth of field. This depth of field is probably getting flagged automatically. Other images that have been accepted are the same depth of field with text in the image showing very clearly. So while the images are not identical, they are merely from different angles. Despite the fact that the ones accepted are actually getting purchased, it seems rather odd to have ones not accepted for quality when those that are accepted seem to be my most popular.

In this case, the text doesn't show very clearly! I think 'REW' should be in focus and not just part of it as well. The word is the point of the photo, isn't it?

Post your picture full size here, and we will look at the problems. Pictures are checked by humans, and those are fantastic at detecting issues.

I appreciate you mentioning that. Although, the standards seem inconsistent if it's checked by humans. So I'm not sure I agree that they are fantastic at detecting issues.

Chromatic aberration!

In addition, you have a slight overexposure:
