Hello All,

This is my first time posting here so I appoligies if I have done something incorretly. But I am willing to learn. I am testing the waters if you will with Adobe stock and just wanted to get some insight as to some of the possible reasons the image below would be denied. According to Adobe its due to Quality Issues but doesnt really get into the nitty gritty. The focal point is on the end of the Gold post so It could be due to the out of focus sections behind or on the wood post itself? Not 100% sure why it doesnt meet quality standards. Any information and or tips to move forward are greatly appreciated.

Depth of field is too shallow. The entire gold object should have been in focus. Additionally, there is chroma noise in the background. This is why Adobe Moderstors do not provide detailed feedback on issues - there can be multiple issues, and they don't have time to enumerate all of them.

I agree with @Jill_C on the chroma noise. I suppose that's the reason. Cleanup and commercial value are secondary issues. However, the asset won't break sales records. Who cares...?

I wanted to thank all the repplies, TBH When I took this pic I never thought about any sort of comercial use and or use with adobe. I will keep that in mind for future photography trips. The above are All great responses and will take the learnings from each.

I am convinced that contributots who take critiques graciously, as you have here, have a 100% better chance on succeeding on Adobe Stock than those who don't. Good luck!

For shallow DoF shots, the entire subject/object should be in focus. In my opinion at least, this makes it easy to cut out of its current background and be composited into another background or image.

I'm also curious to know what this is and how someone might use this image commercially?

This appears to be a pretty stylized piece, so it may need a property release if you don't already have one.

The area I squared off could use a considerable amount of cleanup. That said, I'm not sure if this image has any commercial value. Then again, I don't know what it is, so maybe that's just me. 🙂
