Changing colors can be a reason for rejection?

Hello.

I couldn't conclude this from on Adobe tips. This foto has been rejected due to quality issues. Changed the sky to dark and cast overall color on the image, however I still wonder why it would be rejected for quality... It seems to be in focus, and I couldn't see excessive artifacts, noise, lighting (too dark, maybe??), it's not been cropped too much (just some space on sides, to correct alignment), so it dosn't seem also pixelized.

Could anyone gime me a clue for learning? Is changing some colors a reason for rejecting for quality?

Also: Naming it using a monument name (in this case, Christ The Redeemer) would rise image rights issue, despite this being a landscape image taken from the street, being 99% sky, mountain clouds and vegetation?

Thank you so much!

    The birds are not in focus, and duotone/monochrome conversions are not allowed. Read the "Do's and Don'ts on the Help pages.

    The subject is not the vegetation and the clouds, but the monument. So that is a clear IP violation. Naming the picture with an IP violation does even not help either, as, you point really the moderator (and if accepted, the buyer) to the centre of interest. You can't call an image “Boy drinking Coca-Cola” even if no Coke is in the image.

     

    The monument is allowed in city scape picture, not as the subject of the asset. Known image restrictions

      I see. Ok. I'll think about it in further submissions, but anyway, will not submit this one anymore. 

      Thanks for your advice.

      Before you submit assets to Stock,

      1. Read the Stock Contributor User Guide thoroughly & carefully.  It contains everything you need to know about what's expected from contributors.  

      2. Compare your work with other assets in current Stock inventory.

          a)  Make sure your work is unique. If Stock already has millions of the same image, it's unlikely they need more. 

          b)  Ensure that your visual & technical quality is as good or better than what Stock has.

      3. Submit only your best work. When in doubt, keep working on it or discard it from your submissions stack.

       

      Hope that helps & best of luck.

        Additionally, I wouldn't invest any more time re-editing this image. There are already ~909,000 images of this statue in the Adobe Stock database, and the chance that anyone would ever find yours is quite remote...

            Your photo probably got refused because:

            .. black and white

            .. lacks contrast

            .. focus is too soft

            .. white halo around the large birds. I too, believe they should not be in the photo.

            .. the small birds appear as dots and must be removed 

            .. the shadows are underexposed

            .. highlights on christ are overexposed

            .. christ is the subject, but is too small. Use the rue of thirds and crop in closer.

            The name should be ok.

              Thank you! I'll rework it for my learning, use your advice for new photos, but maybe not submit this one anymore. It's a satureted theme and indeed I see my photo is not in that good quality.

              I'd remove the birds myself. They seem out of proportion relative to the statue, since it's difficult to tell if the birds are flying directly over the statue or well in front of it. I'd also increase the contrast. And in the center right cloud, there are tiny specs of dust (more birds?) that need to be removed for sure. Removing the birdds is just a judgement call and doubtfully the reason for the rejection. But those spots need to be removed for sure.

                Thank you! Actually my purpose were shoot the burds closer to the statue, but these ones are too close, and out of proportion, as well as out of focus. I wanted to preserve the picture, leaving no spots of erasing on it, so I didn't ereased the birds (even the tiny ones). I'll rework it, but for my use only. Won't submit this anymore.

                Thanks a lot for your advices!
