Hi All, What do you think of this photo? Not uploaded, yet. Just curious,if you think there is any room for it. Unusual angle may make it interesting for inclusion (?)

Thanks a lot for commenting!

A “newbie”.

    Stock is a global assets service for people seeking commercial quality content. Most of Stock’s users are also Adobe product users. Proper exposure, good focus with ample depth of field, neutral white balance and straight lines are just a few of the quality issues that customers expect.

     

    Since you’re new to Stock, read through your Contributor User Guide and these photography requirements: 

    1. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/submit-your-content/submit-photos/photo-submission-overview.html
    2. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/submit-your-content/submit-photos/technical-legal-requirements-photo-submission.html
    3. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/submit-your-content/submit-photos/photo-editing-best-practices.html
    4. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/submit-your-content/submit-photos/submit-photos.html

     

    Good luck.

    Duly noted, thank you for showing me the requirements, that had been my first thing to read when I joined, no problem, and made 90%+ approval rate on my first batch well before this one came up. Horizontal alignment was I think beyond written “requirements”. I just simply found the composition special even if very strange, therefore I took the lead asking for opinions on how strange it was for experienced people in this community - which I did receive. Customer first. Preferences become “requirements”, after all, so thx again. Already killed that picture, have better ones for purpose of stock.

    Thank you for having taken the time answering in detail, very helpful.

    Leaning horizons pretty much earn an immediate rejection...

    This will never be accepted. Adobe doesn't like horizons that are not straight. If you straighten out the picture, it might be acceptable. I really didn't get a look at the rest of the picture, but I noticed the horizon first.

    Moderators will generally reject slanting horizontals or verticals.

    Think of it this way: If a buyer wants a slanted image, they can buy it and slant it themselves. But they can’t easily straighten one that is already slanted. :) Good luck going forward!
