Hi,

I am new to the Adobe stock contributer community and I recently submitted this image that was rejected beccause it doesn't meet quality standards. This came as a surprise to me. Message is not specific about what quality issues are there that is preventing acceptance.

Can someone please take a look and tell me what could be wrong so I do not repeat the mistakes.

Image is 11.8 MB with 300 dpi resolution. It is 4000 x 6000 pixels.

Thanks

Quality includes exposure (shadows/highlights), focus/sharpness, color depth, white balance, composition/framing and visual appeal.

Before submitting, always compare your work with current Stock inventory to ensure that yours is as good or better than what Stock has.

For more tips, read these links from your Stock Contributor User Guide.

You should add more whites. Keep the white balance neutral, so in this case the white balance is wrong.

The focus is not sharp. There may have been some camera shake:

Have a read of this. It's a brief guide on quality:
