Hello,

My name is Misti Dawn and Im a newbie to submitting my photos to Adobe. I take mainly landscape, event & historical places photos. All are raw and unaltered with editing. I know some of the mosxt recent pics are not as clear as I thought they were and have some reflections and soft fuzzy lines causing them to not look clear. But other then that any feedback on the photos would be greatly appreciated. I am also improving my picture quality with a better camera. Thank you for all of your help and I truely apprecuiate your time.

Purposely slanted horizons will never be accepted (nor will accidental ones). If a buyer should want something like that, they can do it themselves.

Hello,

Well, regarding quality issues, the first thing - independent of the size - is your composition; it isn't good I'm afraid. Taking shots at an angle like you have done is bad practice. It takes skill to have such a shot work well!

Read about composition!

 

Composition:

Composition is part of the quality rejection notice.

Crooked snapshots are unsuitable for commercial use.  Sorry.

 

Adobe Stock customers want highest visual & technical quality for use in professional projects.  TV commercials, billboard ads, magazines, posters, marketing and merchandise.

 

Read your Stock Contributor User Guide for more tips on what Stock is looking for.

You can't upload these images as they are too small.

Since the invention of photography, all good photographers did some edits to their images. It's an error to think that only “as is” pictures are good pictures. Even if you photograph for the National Geographic or if you are a nature photographer, you can develop (adjusting exposure and sharpness, even selectively) and crop your images. If you are a stock photographer, you can use all the dirty tricks to enhance your pictures, and every so often, you even need to add them to your assets to get them accepted.

 

And by the way: RAW files are not accepted to Adobe stock. A JPEG file is an edited file per se.

 

Important for stock is to have assets that look natural, not exactly natural assets. Stock buyers need pictures they could use out of the box, even if they will modify to their needs.

Check luminosity values with Histogram panel.

Use Adjustment Layers to correct defects as needed.

These are much too small for us to evaluate. Upload 2 or 3 at full size. However, it is very unlikely that RAW unedited images are ever going to be acceptable. Virtually every image requires at least minimal editing before submission. Leaning horizons are rarely going to be acceptable.
