Do reveiewers understand underwater photography?

All of a set of 9 photos rejected. Other stock photos sites have no issue with them!

Most of them from this set (although in better quality & with no watermarks)

You can take away the problem of people, places or things, that might require a model release or property release and re-submit.

You can also take a look at all of the required conformity to copyright laws in every country. Your compliance is your business.

The volunteers here on the forum are not here to argue with anyone. We hope to inform and assist the contributors to Adobe Stock.

Hi,

It would be important to know what the official reasons for refusal on the part of Adobe Stock for the respective images are.

Some of the pictures have recognizable company logos and here you definitely need a property release. The recording location could also require a release

In general, you should note that Adobe Stock does not accept editorial images from standard members.

Here you should inform yourself and there is a good starting point:

Reasons content is rejected at Adobe Stock

I think here you can find out if you have understood enough about commercial stock photography to be able to critizes professional image reviewers in an objektive way.

Greets,

    @v.poth

    My my my.. we're quite sensitive apparently!

    I raised a question (Do reviewers understand underwater photography - hey fixed the typo as well!) and also qualified that it's some of the pictures in that set, not all (getting off brands, identifiable people etc) that was uploaded.

    Recording location requiring a release? These are underwater photos, some on reefs, others on artificial wrecks - hope authorities never consider the idea of asking them for a release for using pictures of reefs and wrecks scuttled to be visited, enjoyed and photographed!

    All the reasons given for refusal were Technical error (which is like... puff...) and none of the 9 in the batch were approved (though I have over 200 other images approved so I guess I'm not far off what is considered acceptable on Adobe stock - or otherwise I'm not sure what standard to follow!)

    I've read Quality and technical issues rejected at Adobe Stock which doesn't help at all, thus this forum post.

    Hope that helps understand the issue!
