Critique to understand what quality issues I need to work on for submissions

Image #2:  Too blurry for commercial use.  Also, white balance is too blue.

We can’t critique tiny thumbnails.

What’s going on with focus and composition? The 3 bottom pictures catch my attention, but it’s very hard to asses this photos in the current form and size.

Now is the best time to start your data base folder system.

Make a  2026 Master folder, then create a folders for each month, the folders with title/date for each shoot, month  and always use corresponding digits for months. This is what it looks like:

2026 Master Folder ➡ 01 January  ➡ 01 Trip to Yosemite 0106  ➡ 02 Joe’s BD 0117  ➡03 (next shoot & date)

 And so on… never again will you struggle looking for past photos.

Remember, everyone here is well intended and has the right to their opinions, mine is that I see value for stock, if they are sharp and have good composition.

It’s up to you if you’d like to share the original files you uploaded to Adobe.

So basically Adobe is not the best place for wildlife :/ is what I am getting from the articles

Start by reading the 4-part section on photo requirements from your Stock Contributor User Guide.

Quality & Technical Standards:

Also, to get accepted by Adobe Stock, photos should communicate a message or story and have good commercial value to global customers.

Even minor issues can result in rejections by moderators due to Adobe’s strict quality standards. We will need to see the originals to really be of assistance. The file size limit unfortunately is 5MB, so you may still need to reduce them as close to the limit as possible.
