This photo mine was not accepted beacuse of infringment of Interlectual property. I fail to see how this photo of a landscape of a lake and mountains infringes intelectual property.

What is Intellectual Property?

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.

IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.


Long story short: A well-known photographer took a photo of a lighthouse and included it in a calendar of his images. The owner of the lighthouse came across the calendar and sued the photographer for a percentage of the royalties gained by its sales.

The image should have been rejected based on quality issues. The white balance is much too blue, it's blurry, and there's a ghostly image of a child.

That was not the reason that it was not accepted. I don't agree with the of quality either because it was accepted in other sites

Having assets accepted on other sites does not guarantee having those images accepted on Adobe Stock. We hear this all the time. And some stock sites use AI to review assets. The quality issues as noted are correct. You can take the advice as given or not. That is entirely up to you.

Maybe the moderator clicked the wrong rejection reason? There's a significant blue cast in the elements that might need to be corrected.
