Editor's Subjective Choices

I have come to accept that sometimes the editor will not like one of my submissions. I had one that was not accepted today, which I understood, until I was searching through submitted images to find where one of mine was in the queue, and happened upon an image where someone literally wrote out 2016 and 2017 with a pen, took a photo and submitted it. It was accepted!!! What? Image number is 131255619. I wish I could show it here.

Which puts into question, is what is considered acceptable that subjective?

Correct answer MatHayward

I am happy to discuss with you why one of your submitted images is accepted or rejected. However, asking for justification/explanation for review status of content submitted by a contributor that is not involved in the discussion and did not ask for a critique is inappropriate.

To answer your general question..Yes, of course the review process is subjective. Photography and art in general is subjective.

Hi,

Please refer Reasons for content rejection  and Familiarize yourself with these submission guidelines before you begin to submit content to Adobe Stock...

Let me know if that helps!

Sheena,

Thanks for the prompt reply, but I guess my point wasn't really clear. I am wondering how in the world the image I mentioned above was approved? I was objecting because it makes me question how much the guidelines depend on the subjectivity of the editor?
