Could an Adobe pro or two please take a minute to help me understand why one of my images from this series was rejected but some similar allowed?


attached is one of the images that was rejected.

 

Reason: "Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, this image doesn't meet our quality standards so we can’t accept it into our collection."

White balance isn't neutral.  The pages are too blue, the background is too yellow. 

After you correct all the AI blunders,  you'll need to use layer masks to adjust the colors.

The rejection reason is "Quality Issues". You should give us the header of the rejection. The stock text is uninteresting, with all rejections. 😉

If you are going for photo realism, I can't stree enough the importance of taking advantage of facial restoration software. If one skips this step in the editing process, then these assetss should, at the very least, be labeled as illustrations.

The man's fingers seem a bit too long. This pic can easily be identified as AI-generated, therefore you have to be careful with inconsistencies that have been pointed out.

As this is also supposed to be photo-realistic, I would suggest toning down the red and yellow. It has just a bit too much of a red/yellow cast.

There are drawing errors in the eyes, the fingernails, the sleeve that has no button, etc.
