Hi everyone,

I recently submitted an AI-generated image to Adobe Stock, but it was rejected due to "Quality Issues." I’m hoping to get your feedback on what might have gone wrong and how I can improve it for resubmission.

Image Details:

Title: Vintage steam train traveling through a misty forest on a railway track, with glowing headlights and billowing steam, ideal for historical themes and nostalgic storytelling concepts.
File Name: vintage_steam_train_misty_forest_railway.jpg
File ID: 1389898862
Rejection Reason: Quality Issues (possible issues: exposure, soft focus, excessive filtering, or artifacts/noise)
The image is an AI-generated depiction of a vintage steam train moving through a misty forest, with glowing headlights and billowing steam, aiming for a nostalgic and historical vibe. I’ve attached the image below for your review.

I’m wondering if the rejection might be due to issues like soft focus in the misty areas, exposure problems with the headlights or steam, or perhaps noise/artifacts common in AI-generated images. I’d really appreciate your thoughts on:

What specific quality issues you notice.
Suggestions for improving technical quality (e.g., focus, exposure, noise reduction).
Tips for ensuring atmospheric AI-generated scenes like this meet Adobe Stock’s standards.
Thank you in advance for your time and insights! I’m eager to improve my submissions.

Best,
Deepthi

A bit brighter

 

Histogram after making the image a bit brighter

 

vs - your image

The histogram shows it is a bit dark overall.

So, it can come under an exposure issue!

I think one of the reasons could be that the rails are crooked.

Nice image. Why the moderator rejected it I cannot say for certain. Personnaly, I feel that it is too dark and that the tracks are not rendered very good. But, I am not sure that that is the reason.
