Idk why.

 

      Correct answer RALPH_L

      these are too small to judge properly but what I see are: composition, exposure, sharpness and IP violations.

      Random snapshots might be okay for sharing with friends on social media, but that’s not what Adobe Stock customers are paying for. 

       

      Your images lack proper lighting, composition, sharp focus, color, context, space and commercial value. 

       

      See links below for more details about what’s required.

      Also compare your best work with Stock inventory.  Yours should be better than what Stock is selling.

      Hope that helps.

        Hello,

        You ought to learn about composition.

        Composition

        There are quite a few reasons for rejection in your photos.

        Nearly any scene is suitable to sell as stock… as long as the basics are covered:

        -Composition

        -Exposure & Focus

        -Titles & Keywords

        Some of the photos you share seem to have some potential, all are either too dark, are blurry thumbnails and impossible to see what your composition is.

        I am often brutally honest. The sincerity in your question gets lost in the effort you put in creating this post. What that tells me is that you’re not putting enough time checking and editing your photos before you submit them. And frankly, that is the main reason your photos are being rejected.

        Slow down and pay much more attention to what you shoot and when you edit. 

        Do it for the love of photography, always striving to do your best!

        Good Luck to you!

        subject matter isn’t for stock, and they are all totally underexposed to the point you can’t see the picture
