Question

Could you help please with understanding quality issues?

Hello everyone,

I recently submitted 9 different photos to Adobe Stock, and all of them were rejected for “quality issues.” The images are not from the same subject or the same scene, so I suspect there may be a common technical problem in my workflow or editing.

I would really appreciate constructive feedback on this photo and on what specific issues you notice: focus, sharpness, noise, exposure, artifacts, composition, or anything else that may make it unsuitable for Adobe Stock.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

    I understand, but it’s distracting in this case and I mention it as at least one possibility for its rejection. Same with the position it’s assuming, which makes it difficult to tell what species of bird it is, unless you’ve included it in your title or keywords.

    A tighter crop would have helped with this one.

    A longer lens would have helped this one. And I know it’s primping itself, but I think it would have been strong if It has just been perching naturally.

    It's poplar fluff in the air. And in my opinion not every photo should be “bird in a box”, some time bird in its natural habitat
