Hi, I see this sweet photo has many blurs and out of focus areas. If you look at this photo at 100% enlargement, you will see it too. Always look at your work at this enlargement before you send it in. The requirements for a photo is stated on the Adobe Stock guidelines. Please read carefully. Best regards, JH

There is a link to more information about possible rejection reasons in the rejection notification.

Hi,

You do have some noise problems, you can see this in the background areas. It looks a bit 'speckled' or grainy.

and I think JPEG artifacts - so some 'jagged edges' in the face area of the fox:

So, the inspectors were probably referring to these types of issues. I also think your white balance could be altered a bit - it is a bit too 'cold'.

Possibly, your camera isn't up to the task for stock photos, but it depends on how you use it. Your camera also doesn't take raw, but only saves to JPEG, so this also can be a problem. It will be better to have a camera that can take raw - CR2, DNG, NEF etc. It gives you a lot more options than just saving to JPEG.
