Hello,  

 

These application photos are original with zero editing. Please provide feedback to a beginner on stock photography on how to improve quality to Adobe's standards. Thank you!

Hello,

All your photos need work. I would focus on your composition, which is a very important part of photography.

Zero editing is never a good sign. All pictures need to have a minimum of editing. I do not know why people are thinking that pictures should not be edited.

DSC03067.JPG - it doesn't really make sense to focus on the branches rather than the town

DSC01666 - Copy.JPG - underexposed & not well composed

DSC01666 - Copy.JPG - not sharply focused

 

It is not preferable to submit images straight out of the camera with no editing. Virtually all images need at least minimal editing, particularly if you're shooting in RAW which is recommended.

Too dark and slanted.
