Fixes? Technical Issue Rejection

Hi! I'm pretty new to stock photography, and I'm trying to figure out why some of my photos are being rejected due to technical issues. I can't personally detect any sensor spots, however I did detect some noise at 100%; I'm not sure if this is the issue? Thanks!

Hi @Kelsey22447451fjef,

Put yourself in the customer's shoes.  Why would I buy these?  What could I use them for commercially?

 If the answer to either question is "I don't know,"  chances are it's not right for Adobe Stock.

 

Read the Stock Contributor User Guide.  Compare your work with other images in the Adobe Stock database.  HINT:  Adobe Stock already has millions & millions of plant images.  If you want to be successful at Stock Photography, find less well-represented subjects to photograph.  And make sure you have 100% legal ownership of the subjects.  If you don't own it, you need a signed release from the legal owner/artist/designer.  Also if you take pictures of human models, your models must sign a model release to use their likeness commercially.

Hello,

Yep, focus and exposure are the main issues! Sadly, not good enough for commercial use!

Focus and exposure are your main issues. You will also need a property release for the ring.

Here is some feedback on the first photo.

 

 

When viewing at 100%, parts of the plant aren't in focus.  I would expect f2.8 to produce a shallow depth of field when the camera and subject are so close though.

 

There is an odd shape around the plant that I'm guessing is a plate or pot of some sort that I think detracts from the image, and I don't think the main subject is well lit.  There is a leaf that is cut off from the frame, make sure to include the entire main subject in a photo like this.

 

I hope that helps!
