Dear Community,

i have several uploads refused for "quality problems".

That to me is a broad term. I think an outsider can better pin point what the problems are, then myself.

I would appreciate any feedback on these in order to

- learn and become better in photography

- in qualifying what could be acceptable to Adobe

- learning where i should put my focus in chosing topic of the pictures i make

Ultimate longterm goal is to be succesfull at the sales of the stock

Appreciate your help!

Looking forward reading your feedback, hope not to be burned down to the ground !-)

Thanks

Hi @Moonlander67

File ending with 603 has either a camera shake or subject shake due to wind.

The other 2 file have blurred elements in the forefront. See attached screenshot images.

Best wishes

Hello,

My suggestion would be to try to work on your composition.

Composition:

Composition is fundamental!

Hey Ralph, thanks for your comment and inspiring picture. It indeed shows me i have much, much room to improve. Can you elaborate on the rule of thirds, because i thought i was doing that one right. Thanks for further feedback!

20251012_113002.jpg - DOF is too shallow rendering most if the image out of focus

20250720_104219.jpg DOF issue here also - the blurry bloom in the foreground is distracting

20241026: Washed out background. The cow on the right is cropped too close to its nose.

20240825: Depth-of-field is too shallow. Took me awhile to even see the dragon fly(?) due to distracting elements.

20250427: The greens might be a little too over-saturated. The goats are just a jumble of goats, and it's difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins. Concentrate on two or three, if you can get close enough.
