Feedback on rejected images

427 too dark, not focused and should not have been cropped.

Hello,

I'm afraid for stock purposes these shots won't pass muster.

You need to work a lot on your composition as well as exposure. They are poorly exposed and poorly composed!

Do some background reading about composition and exposure. These links will give you a start.

Great Stock photos start with proper lighting & good composition of the subject you're trying to capture. 

Point & click might be OK for snapshots. But it rarely works well for commercial use. 

Compare your best work with current Stock inventory to see what you're competing with.

Hope that helps.

One more: the couple holding hands. The edges are soft and extremely underexposed.

06 Matalascañas (37).jpg - blurry, noisy and not well composed

_DSC0405.jpg - appears to be an unedited snapshot; there is chromatic aberration, among other issues...

_DSC0423.jpg - underexposed and poorly composed

0420: Logo needs to be removed.

0427: The cropping is questionable; more of the bird should be visible.
