     sorry, just to see if I understood correctly, could you kindly see if this version of the photo is not underexposed?  Thank you


    The exposure is correct. Sharpness is not at its best, but not really off. There is noise in the shadows.

    And the composition is not good.

     

    The hard shadow of the plate is not professional. Indeed, this is more a snapshot than a professional picture.

    I would probably still refuse the asset, but you may try submitting again.

    It's certainly an improvement over the image in your initial post, but cropping is again an issue for me. Something more along the lines of what I've attached gives the buyer the opportunity to crop the image exactly as your original if they wish to do so, or add copy.

    You have to think carefully about the composition - the example given shows better composition than your example.

    It's a good idea to look at what Adobe Stock has to offer and then compare it with yours before submitting. In this way, you can get some ideas of what to look for.

      I agree with the composition of this photo. However, I can't find any logic in the fact that some photos are accepted much worse than this one, and other better ones are discarded.

      "I can't find any logic in the fact that some photos are accepted much worse than this one, and other better ones are discarded."

       

      Aristotle himself would not be able to find the reasoning behind why bad assets get accepted over better ones.

      This is what you're competing with in Adobe Stock.

      Bright, cheerful Macron colors. No harsh light or shadows.

        No, not really! You get that by contrast, like a candle with a candlelight diner. Not by pouring hard light on your subject and choosing a bad composition.

          Adobe did provide you with a reason. It was probably quality issues. The posted asset is not what you have submitted, so mostly, we can only guess. But the asset is underexposed:

          In what sense "with quality"?

          Did Adobe tell you "Quality issues"? Quality issues may be a lot of topics. One is exposure. But I guess there are multiple ones. From what I see, I would also claim the composition.
