Any suggestion about why this photo was rejected?

According to Adobe Stock this photo has one or more technical issues, but they didn't tell me which. Could anybody tell me the problems are to not repeat them in the future?

Hi @Adormar86 ,

The composition is not that good. There is also purple, blue, and orange color fringing.

You need to either capture in focus the object in the forefront or remove them. The grass is not in focus, and hence is distracting.

The image is also under exposed. The dark areas are too dark, and details are lost.  There is also a white balance issue. The green color is not correct.

Best wishes

JG

Hi. There are several issues that I can see.

  • the orange color is over saturtated
  • the tree branches have a purple glow
  • the tree trunk has a blue border
  • the caravans logo has been poorly removed
  • the clouds in middle are overexposed and without detail.
  • focus is a problem because of your open aperature (f/3). Use f/8 next time.
  • crop in on your subject using the Rule of Thirds

Here is an example. Unfortunately, I could not remove all of the fringing around the flowere without the original RAW file.

Wow! Thank you very much for the detailed response. I didn't expect that somebody would work on my photo to show me an example of correction.

Hi, did you get any responses to your query. I have the same issue with pics I have submitted, but have got no explanation what the technical issues are. I also posted a pic here and got no response. Surely there must be an easier way.

Charlie Goodrick, you seem to have received detailed, thoughtful explanations of the problems with your images. Look again.
