Got rejected because of exposure soft focus, excessive filtering or noise issue, how to fix it?

The first photo has a few small sensor spots. The tree should be removed. The depth of field is too shallow. You need a subject.

The second photo is a little too cold. You may need a model release.

Both photos have alot of noise. You need to crop both photos to the rule of thirds.

When reporting a refusal, it is enough to report the heading. It's easier, than to try to match (possibly inaccurate) content to the correct refusal.

Phone cameras are limited and have fewer pixels to work with.  Unless photo conditions are ideal, you're at the mercy of your equipment's limitations.   Or as we say in computer-speak, "garbage in, garbage out."

Composition is a technical matter.  And yours contain too much dead space. In both images, the subjects are too distorted and tiny to be of any commercial value for printing on product packaging, posters, t-shirts, calendars or billboard ads.  You'll need to do better if you want to sell anything on Stock.

1. Compare your work with other Stock inventory.  Sometimes it helps to see what your competition is doing.

2. Read these links from your Stock Contributor User Guide.

Hope that helps.

Did the rejection specifically say "exposure soft focus, excessive filtering or noise issue" or did it say "quality issue" and mention some possibilities? Please copy/paste the actual words of the rejection, thanks.

First image focus seems to be not in the foreground.
