All of my photos have been rejected. These colors and lights are intentional.

What could be the problem?

The first image is underexposed and blurry. The second image also lacks sharp focus and not well composed - leaning horizon and verticals.

The colors and light are the problem. Check the requirements and forget about too artistic processing of your pictures.

What you posted might be good on Instagram or Flickr.  But Stock is not social media.  It's a business for sourcing high quality assets for use in commercial projects.  Emphasis on commercial use.

 

Adobe customers expect perfect composition, exposure, color balance, and focus.  Or else, they won't buy it.

Have a look at the Stock Contributor User Guide for more tips.

 

Before you submit, compare your work with current Stock inventory to see how yours measures up.

 

Good luck with your next submission. 🙂
