Helllo,

Your photo of the girl standing next to the hay bales is too yellow. The light reflected from the bales (as they are yellow) has given a strong yellow cast. This has to be reduced in post-processing. As she is wearing a hat, this has caused her face to become darker, so you need to lighten the shadows and try to bring more detail to the face. This can be down by using fill-in flash and a reflector.

Similar to the second photo. The face is too dark. You can bring more detail to the hay bale covers by reducing the highlights. Perhaps think about using a polarising filter, which helps to reduce glare and reflections off shiny surfaces.

 

Quick example:

 

However, in both cases, if you shoot in bright sunlight and the person is wearing a hat, you need to make sure the face is light by using reflectors and fill-in flash.

Thanks for the advice. I'll fix the technical stuff and hope they don't reject everything again.

Your first: issues with the white balance, the straw is partially overexposed, the models face is not good lighted. You would have needed using a reflector to get the models face correctly lighted. The whole looks like a nice vacation picture of your girlfriend. If you want to illustrate the farmlife, she should not stand there and smile into the camera, centered in the image.

 

The second picture is a bit the same, too much shadow on the eyes. You need to improve your storytelling, if you want to sell that the model is a farmer. 

 

Both images have a considerable noise level in the shodows.

Just to add: the poor story telling has probably not influenced the refusal, but will influence the sales.

The first image has some blown out spots. The second image has underexposed shadows.

Well, it could be, although each photo doesn't have to be perfectly lit from corner to corner, and if there were some but they were all rejected... can't I speak to someone directly to get an answer from Adobe support? Thanks.

No. Adobe does not chime in on refusals. They would never start working again.

I'd remove the model. She appears more like a distracting prop, while the real subject is her surroundings. To put it another way, both images come across as keepsakes from a recent vacation. Does that make sense?

Seeing only these two separately it could be, but seeing the whole session you understand why she is a farmer of organic cows. Thank you.
