I don't understand why

No text or watermarks allowed on photos.  That's an editorial and design decision that the customer makes after they buy the image from Stock.  Your job is to take pictures, not create editorial content.

 

Please read the  Photo Dos and Don'ts section in your Stock Contributor User Guide and these links.

 

Hope that helps.

Always give the refusal reason. I see here a multitude of reasons not to accept this:

  • technical issues
  • commercial appeal
  • non-compliance

 

If you have a picture that is out of focus, you will not get this one accepted by overlaying some text that the buyer could do by itself if he or she wants to compose exactly that for his needs.

What reason was given for the rejection?
