Hi there all,

I recently uploaded my first few images and had them rejected on technical grounds. This walnut was one of them. I'm after a bit of advice as to how to pass the moderators requirements. Is it white balance, focus, subject matter etc. Any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks.

    Hi @Ian_Rob ,

    I agree that it is a bit out of focus. I like the exposure as is, but it might be considered a bit over exposed. My conclusion is drawn from the pale appearance of the subjects. The shadows on the other hand are too dark. Details are lost.

        Hi @Ian_Rob , I think it is a focus issue. Your edges are not real crisp. You may be able to sharpen the edges.

          Hi Ralph, Thanks for the reply. This was a stacked image so i'll have to double check my edges and sharpness for future uploads.

          Hello,

          White balance is wrong. 

           

          Have a read of this from Adobe about how to create better photos:https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/how-to/tips-stock-image-acceptance.html?set=stock--fundamentals--adobe-stock-contributor

           

          Read this about adjusting white balance:

            Sorry, I disagree, Joyel. JPG and JPEG are the same file types. If the file size is wrong you do not get a "technical" rejection, it just refuses the file immediately.

              One reason that it is rejected because it's a jpg file and not jpeg file. Do check if it is 3mb file and not less than that.
