Question

Artifact Problem?

Hi guys I am new and have had some photos accepted but others that I was sure should get in were rejected for artifact problems. Below are 3 low res version of the images and I would love some suggestions as to what the issue with the images might be and if they could be fixable. If it helps I am happy to post the camera details in an update to the post. Sure all 3 may not be the most interesting of images but I still can see potential uses for all of them.

All I can think of that could be the issue is that it has a relatively short depth of field so the main leaf is not all sharp and maybe they think I have applied a vinette.

I got no idea at all of the issues.

This one is slightly noisy in some areas but not in my opinion to a level that should put anyone off. It was taken with my phone but in raw and lightly processed to increase the saturation a little and straighten it as it was very slightly off. The only other thing I just noticed is the 2 white panels but I could not do anything about them beyond generating my own textures to fill but I would assume if that was an issue the customer could just as easily do the same.

Update: I thought I would update everyone on 2 of the photos. I resubmitted the leaves and gravel photos with a more natural edit applied to them and both have just been accepted. I would guess that must have been their issue with the photos then. I have not tried again with the bar photo yet as I have only just gotten my main editing computer back up and running so will have to try applying more noise reduction on the image as I think that could be the issue.

    Yeah I guess I had not thought of that. I have cropped a portion of each then and they are below. I think they should be a good representation of the image at 100%. I very much doubt that there should be any spots or other defects in the parts of the image I have not shared.

    Again, it is a bit difficult to say, as you have only selected a portion of the image. However, in your first image of the leaf, it looks as if you have given it a sepia tone. It is better to keep to colour and not use any type of special effect filter, as the buyer can do this themselves.

    Thanks again for responding. As I am not sure how secure this forum is I felt it was better to not upload the full image in case it might be stolen. Sure they may not be the greatest images but still.

    As for the leaves I can't check at the moment as my computer that I edited it on is broken but I am fairly sure that the image is natural colours and not toned. I very rarely do that but it could be possible as I took and edited it over 2 years ago. I have heard that before here but many of the photos I have looked at to see what is similar most seem heavily filtered.

    It would be good to get some feedback on the other 2 images.

    I'm afraid that as you have provided low res versions, and the rejection reason is for artifacts, it is not possible to tell, as when looking at this greater than 100% artifacts are introduced anyway! And, the image is too small at 100%

    So, you really need to provide full res to get any meaningful advice.
