Cześć, mam pytanie dotyczące moich zdjęć.

Hi, I have a question regarding my photos. They are being rejected due to quality issues; other stock sites have accepted them, but here I’m having trouble with almost every other image. I don’t have much experience with stock photography, so I’d appreciate your feedback on what to improve and what to look out for. Thanks for the reply.

    A search for sunsets yields over 33 and a half million results. Even if accepted, there is a lot of competition. And watch your exposure in any event.

    Thanks for the reply. I know there are a lot of sunset shots out there, but as I mentioned, I’m a beginner—and you have to start somewhere. In my Lightroom, the overexposed areas look like this...

    That may happen. You might be looking at the original, while I was looking at the .webp version. The forum (unfortunately, in my opinion) converts the originals to .webp and we don't know to what degree the files are being compressed during the upload.

    This one could be brightened up. The yellow color cast is probably natural under the conditions in which it was shot, but could be toned down a bit.

    That light-colored one really does look better, but is the color the reason for the rejection?

    Yes, color can be a quality issue.

    @odważny_entuzjazm5E5F,

    Other services have different customers and acceptance standards. Most Stock buyers are also Adobe product users. They expect commercial-quality artwork for use in professional projects—print, TV, films, marketing, promotions, & merchandise. 

     

    Compare your best work with similar Stock inventory.

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=beach+sunset = 7.3 million results

    Yours should have a unique perspective that meets or exceeds the quality of other content in the collection. 

     

    Read the 4-part section on Photography Requirements from your Contributor User Guide, starting here.

    Hope that helps.

    Adobe only uses the best of the best. You need to take a photography course on lighting and composition. Look at the other pictures on the site, like yours. You will see how your lighting compares. Don’t give up, but if your lighting doesn’t look like the accepted pictures  don’t put them up. Try to find a course on lighting and editing.
