Image rejected for quality issues but not clear what they are

Hi

 

Would welcome feedback from forum members on why the attached images might have been rejected by Adobe Stock.  Shot RAW, processed in Lightroom with Topaz Photo AI plugin (noise and sharpening only).

There's an odd purple cast on the animals which isn't natural.  See this related topic. 

FYI: White Balance -- why is it so important?

Check your histogram and you see that the assets are overexposed:

(second image)

 

1) should be deep black

2) noise reduction destroyed details. In addition, the hair streaks are blown out by the overexposure.

I agree that the White Balance isn't quite right and the backgrounds overexposed a bit.

Hi,

 

I would say overexposed, to few areas that are not blurred.

Before you submit, please review the submission guidelines carefully and compare your work with other Stock inventory. To be accepted, your work should be as good or better than what's already represented in your keyword category.

Overexposed. Greens are washed out and should be much darker. Bluish cast on the boars. Focusing issues possibly related to shallow depth of field.
