I got a rejection of this photo. It's a picture in HDR (5 stops), is it not allowed in Adobe Stock?

Hello federmassimi, WOW! It looks a bit like a HDR movie shot. So far, we do not know the reason given to you for the rejection. It is easier to talk about a specific reason rather than take a guess. If you were standing in this place and the light was just like the photo shows, you had to be impressed and excited to capture it.

Guidelines for contributors should be studied to be sure you have not just created a work of art  - that is more than most buyers want. The intensity of the colors and shadows are such that buyers would want to change these to softer lighting for stock. Most buyers want to manipulate the settings and do extreme color changes to suit their project.

I will leave it here until you send us the reason(s) for the rejection of this photo. For now, look at these guidelines and get to know them. Best regards, JH
