From my latest upload all images were rejected (quality-issues). I can't see whats the problem. Two of these images are file-ID's : 2174233649 (Kingfisher) and 2174233649 (skyline of Rotterdam).

Can anyone please help me. I get the feeling that the rejections are very depending on personal taste.

Hope to hear from you,

Emma

    Customers are looking for natural images with neutral white balance. If their project calls for stylized colorization, they can add that after purchase. 

     

    Also inspect your monitor’s color calibration settings. They may need to be adjusted.

     

    Good luck.

    Rotterdam the color balance is off. There is too much blue.
    King Fisher needs to be sharpened.

    The colors are way off. What are you editing with Emma? You could also have a monitor that’s not allowing you to see what’s really going on. This is a huge problem that needs fixing asap, before you continue submitting work.

    DM if you need more guidance.

    Cheers!

    Color balance. This version isn’t perfect, but it’s an improvement.

    You’ll have to upload them here if you want feedback from the community members.

    Rejected file numbers are meaningless here. Nobody in this user-to-user forum has access to your content portal. 

     

    Stock updated the submission requirements last month. Have you read through the updated Contributor User Guide?  

    The 4-part section on photography requirements begins here:

    Hope that helps.

    You need to post the images in question here at the size submitted or as large as possible. There is a 5 MB upload limit per file. We are contributors like yourself and do not have access to your rejected assets.
