Hello,

Don't add this effect to the sky:

You have introduced noise- and the effect isn't good! It makes it unsellable!

Is the same:

and you have introduced' banding',  not only noise - you can see the separation of the colours.

 

and the sky here:

All of these issues will result in a rejection.

 

Have a read of this. It's a brief guide on quality:

The rejection reason was Quality Issues. And that is the important hint you get from the moderators (the rest of the refusal text is stock text, and not targeted to your assets!).

They all have a strong colour cast, are noisy, not focussed and the first one has an IP issue on top.

Just another tipp. The humming bird is a beautiful photo but the bird is too small and is flying out of the photo. If you crop in, you remove some of the not important foreground, place emphasis on the bird and the bird is moved into the middle of the photo. Also, the bird needs sharpening.
This is what I mean.

Hi @mihir_shah_1993 

The first picture has noise grains. Also there are identifying marks on the boat that should be removed.

The second image has noise grains.

For the third image. I am trying to find out what's the primary focus. I can safely say, too much of that image is out of focus.

Too much negative space for the fourth image and even then the subject could be better focused.

The fifth image is noisy

The sixth image has too much of a shallow depth of field and it too is noisy.

The seventh image is underexposed and noisy.

My favourites are the first, second and fifth images. I'm assuming these are photos. If I'm correct the shutter speed for the fifth photo was good.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

Depth of field is too narrow in most of these.

If customers want blur effects, they can easily add them after purchase. But they can't easily remove blur once it's there.

The 3rd one also has digital noise and numerous lens spots in the sky.

The first one is over-saturated, with a rather unrealistic sky color and noticeable digital noise in the sky.

DOF on the second one is too shallow, causing most of the image to be out of focus.

In addition to what @Jill_C  said, there are IP violations. The info on the sail and the boat name must be removed.

Personally to me none of those look like they should be rejected none look AI generated nor bad noise. I think who or whatever is doing the reviewing isnt being proper with the reviewing.

You said: Personally to me none of those look like they should be rejected none look AI generated nor bad noise. I think who or whatever is doing the reviewing isnt being proper with the reviewing.

 

Reviewers are trained to inspect images zoomed in between 100-200%, as indicated in the Help Pages. Noise and other artifacts become quite noticeable at that size. If you just glance at the images at the size you see on this web page, they might look okay, but they don't stand up to close inspection.
