Hi, can anyone offer me feedback on this photo. I personally like the vibe of the lighting (This is light pullution caught in fog hance the yellow tone) but was curious if this would fail the approval process due to not being white balanced. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

The image would definitely be rejected for quality issues, not only the weird color which does look like a white balance issue, but the chromatic noise, artifacts and lack of sharp focus. Zoom in and you'll clearly see the artifacts. The details look crushed; perhaps this was taken with a small sensor camera?

Hello,

To address the white balance issue. This was taken at night, so of course you have street lighting. The street lighting of course gives this yellow glow, but you have to make a correction for this. Also, you need to fix the exposure.

Then you get something like this (this is a quick fix).

The vibe of the lighting as you have it does not make for a good photo!

Hi @__Joel__,

It's not looking natural, out of focus, underexposed and noisy. After reading the links by @Henrik Heigl take a look at what you need to look for and how to examine your photos before submitting to Adobe Stock.

Yeah kinda what I was going for and was accurate to the conditions colour wise. Focus was bad I will admit as AF was useless and manual isnt the easiest in the dark... my bad for not checking the focus better. Any idea why this would be so noisy at 400iso? Thanks, still very much a entry level photographer and have much to learn I suppose.

No its a full frame, just at dusk with some pretty terrible light conditions thought the atmosphere was cool but guess I butchered it. I am definitly no professional. Thanks you for the input
