Question

Hi folks, any clues about why this image is rejected?

Is it that stylistically it looks to handmade? Lines aren't all perfect etc? That's as good as I can get it

As George indicated, it does appear to be soft. There also seems to be vignetting in the corners.

yes your right this one did come out little softer than my others 😕😕 I think that must be the main thing. There are thousands of images with some vignetting as a creative choice on adobe stock though from what i have seen. I think so anyway!

This Help page specifically states that vignettes must not be added.

I found this to be underexposed when ai looked at the histogram on it, and it does have some pretty dark areas.  The details looked pretty soft when I zoom in on them.  The white spots in the sky look odd and out of place to me. No know this is a render, but are those a few dust spots in the sky?

Hi thanks for your feedback.Yeah it could be sharper I will work on that. It doesn't look under exposed to me personally - it looks pleasantly contrasty - but perhaps that is the subjectivity of a human over AI. As an Illustration I am surprised it has been rejected cos I think it looks really cool haha. But I will work on sharpening things up. Thanks again

You're aren't wrong, I think it looks cool too!  But from a technical perspective it has some hurdles to get over before it'll get accepted.

 

Here is a screenshot of the histogram in Lightroom which clearly shows underexposure.  Those blue blurbs in the photo show areas where it is pure black without any information.  No matter how much I pulled up the exposure, there wasn't any information to be recovered in some of those areas.

If you haven't read through this already, I think Adobe Do's and Don'ts for selecting and editing photos has several lines that apply to this photo.

 



I sincerely wish you good luck!

p.s. rejection was for quality issues, but hoping for some more specific feedback. Thanks
