Experienced's opinion about this photo?

Only because we are talking about horizontals. To me an amusing case: this picture appeared on login screen today: https://windows10spotlight.com/images/40195
This would have probably not made it to Stock, in this form; it is from another source. Not criticizing anyone here, I actually fancy the picture, wouldn’t have noticed the “issue” if the topic was had not been warmed up in me. I just find it interesting how this small thing gets through an entire chain including AI. Is it that the picture is valuable enough to suppress the small out-of-line of the horizontal.

Dear All, 

Thanks for all the encouragement. I appreciate all your advises and comments, lots of positive feedback. Stock photography is new to me, therefore the point about shooting with intent is duly noted. I've been photographing for 20+ years, just did not pursue it professionally. So I'm interested in learning specifics that make an image commercially useful.

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.

Thanks for your note! I’ll move on to a next ...
