Hello, friends! I'm new here at Adobe Stock and I had my first 8 photos rejected. They were without any treatment, 100% original. I would greatly appreciate any explanation, criticism, advice or suggestion... Thanks in advance!

The polarizer ruined some of the images. It happened to me in the past and since them I avoided using it with anything bellow 35mm. At least 2 or 3 seems fine, but the size is small to confirm it.

Yes, I don't like to use polarizer when I shoot with my DSLR camera. But in this case, the photos were taken with an iPhone 13 Pro. Thank you very much!

Just one more thing. While we've never seen used as a reason for rejecting submissions, Adobe recommends converting assets to the sRGB color space before submitting.

Yes, I had read this instruction and made the publications like this. Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Generally speaking, the overall quality is not really up to Adobe Stock standard.

For example, you have what we call 'banding' in the sky:

Were these pics taken with a smartphone?

Hello, thank you very much for your response and attention. I reduced the quality a little to upload them here, due to the size limit, but I understand what you said. And yes, they were made with an iPhone 13 Pro, I believe it is not compatible with the quality standard required here.

"They were without any treatment."

99.9% of all photographs are going to require at least some degree of post-processing.

Thank you again. I watched a video by an "expert" where he said it was better to send the original photo, so that the potential buyer could manipulate it as they wish. Do you know if can I resend a rejected original photo after doing a post-processing work?

You can still post-process the original images to correct for artifacts, under or over exposure, etc. And one still might need to crop the image or straighten horizon lines or whatever. Assume that the buyer doesn't want to do any post-processing on their end other than cropping or adding text. And yes, images can be resubmitted if attempts are made to fix issues. If I have an asset rejected a second time despite making changes, I ditch it and move on. I'm clearly missing something that the moderators are seeing but that I'm not.

The fourth image: the horizon line is slightly tilted. For your image with blue skies, the blues from left to right aren't uniform and might possibly be improved with some exposure and de-hazing adjustments. Shooting into the sun as you did on some of these can and have caused issues.

Thank you very much for your response and attention. I used used an iPhone 13 Pro for shooting, I think the quality of the photos is not enough to be accepted here

The first image has a large blownout area. Others have some artifacts, banding in the sky, chroma noise, lack of sharp detail, etc. And in the final image an IP violation due to the identifying marks on the boat.

Thank you very much for your response and attention. I think my photos are not of sufficient quality to be exhibited here. Just an observation that the photo of the boat it is not an ide tidying marks , only the name of the city, all boats here have it.

The Moderators have no way of knowing whether text on a boat is an identifying mark, an ad, or something else; therefore, they're always going to reject such images. Mobile phone images can capture images that are of acceptable quality to Adobe Stock; however, such images are usually captured under ideal lighting conditions. I have had some images accepted from both my iPhone 8 and my iPhone 12.
