Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, this image doesn't meet our quality standards so we can’t accept it into our collection.

Common issues that can impact the technical quality of images include exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise.

I have addes photos etc. Would get this reply also. Added it a second time. Strange. But those are some of mine best sold photos. Quality is subjective. Buyers are not always experts in quality. They buy photos for all kind of reasons. Adobe refused photos of mine. At Other agencies those good selling photos.

Acceptance of assets by other agencies is no guarantee that Adobe will accept them. Agencies have different standards and utilize different reviewing resources.

You haven't read the Stock Contributor User Guide yet, have you?

It contains important information you need to know.  Pay particular attention to Photo Editing DOs & DON'Ts and Requirements for submission.

 

Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.

Hope that helps.

The branch on the left shows movement blur and the leaves have a white halo.
